The Rail Industry is split into different sectors and sub-sectors. In this post I’ll do my best to explain it!

This is my transition story from RAF to Railway. If you’re thinking about a job in the railway give it a read.

Most people leaving the forces look for job security, but does it really exist? In this post I break down what 'security' actually means and explain why rail offers one of the most resilient career paths available. I also share how investing in yourself can protect your future. If stability with opportunity is what you want, the railway is waiting.

Success stories don’t come much better than this! Within 3 weeks he’d blitzed he way through the Introduction-to-Rolling Stock course, arranged his first interview and been offered his first role. John’s a great example, I know lots of service leavers with a similar journey. They’ve tried other industries but once they discover the rail industry…more often than not, they stick around.

The Introduction-to-Rolling Stock course offered by Online Rail Courses is CTP approved and can be fully funded using the IRTC grant.

The knowledge base I’ve built over the last 15 years far exceeds that of the Into-to-Rolling Stock training syllabus.

For anyone wondering…”will this course be enough to get me a job in the railway?” Give this case study a read.

Are Ex-Forces at an advantage or disadvantage in the railway...let's take a look!

I left the forces during the 2008/09 financial crisis. Now, in 2023 it's clear we're in for some more 'hard times'. This is my story...

Robert in the Royal Air Force as an Avionics Technician; working on Jaguar and Tornado aircraft. Here’s his story, in his words…

As a forces leaver it’s likely that you’ve never been through a civilian recruitment process; hopefully this article will help you out!

This post comes from an interaction I had with a forces leaver. They were leaving the RAF looking to transition into the rail industry.

This is the first in a series of ‘Rail Transition’ articles where I’ve asked others ex-Forces to share their stories. Thanks Stu for sharing
