The European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS) is a crucial rail project in Europe, aiming to replace disparate train control systems with the European Train Control System (ETCS). Our 3-day training course provides an in-depth look at ETCS and focuses on utilizing GSM-R with or without GPRS as a bearer for ETCS signaling. This course is part of the UIC Rail Academy and is certified by the Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE).

Participants in this course should have a basic understanding of GSM-R networks. Topics covered include ERTMS standards and legislation, system architecture, operating modes, protocols, circuit-switched signaling, GPRS for ETCS, radio network optimization, and more. Upon completion, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of how GSM-R technologies can support the implementation of ETCS in railway systems.

For those looking for a more flexible learning option, this course is also available as a self-paced online training course. Visit our website to learn more about how you can enhance your knowledge of ERTMS/ETCS for radio engineers at your own pace.

This self-paced on-demand distance learning course features illustrated course books, videos, tests and full tutor support.
