Hi Kaan, every day will be different but for the first year this is where all your assignments take place which are in depth which helps you to get a grasp of what you can expect when you get on track, you will also in your first year sit your pts which is your perosnal track safety which allows you to walk on track. practical training was for me the best part as you meet exciting new people and learn loads which you can apply in year two which will be all on track learning. hope this helps

Hi Kaan, it varies from day to day, what discipline you work in and what team you’re with. I work on Track and was initially placed with our inspection team which consisted of : month of patrols in different areas, observing and assisting different types of inspections. Between your time getting on track, your assignments basically give you a good foundation knowledge on what you’ll be seeing and you’ll be more comfortable getting stuck in
