Level 3 Train Driver
Apprenticeships build capability that drive performance and at East Midlands Railway our Train Drivers keep the country moving both in the depot and on the mainline.
Our Train Driver Apprenticeship is a 12-month programme that blends theory and practical work in the classroom with practical skills development and work such as; cab rides and signal box visits. As an apprentice driver you will have access to world class facilities at our Training Academy where our classroom learning is underpinned by state of the art Virtual Reality (VR) that replicates real life railway situations. We also have a cab simulator so you can learn about train driving in a variety of different circumstances and conditions within a safe environment.
