Leave is built into the program, and we are unable to accommodate for our trainees to attend family, social or sporting commitments. In addition to working a 24/7 rotating roster across evenings, weekends and public holidays, you will also need to commit to studying various challenging topics including train mechanics, signal patterns and emergency procedures in order to pass.
