Unprecedented levels of new railway development are on the horizon, both in Britain and overseas. One of the biggest challenges the railway industry now faces is the ability to deliver these schemes efficiently. Effective project control and technical competency are key factors to this, as are the identification of innovative new methods and the management of change.

Project management skills are now firmly established as a core requirement for almost all professions and it is vital that anyone intending to manage projects has a high level of proficiency so that they can provide effective leadership to their teams. This programme has been created to help those who aspire or already lead project teams to develop the essential skills needed to become a successful project manager.
Whilst projects come in all shapes and sizes, certain key principles apply to all. This programme will provide a generic model to highlight these key principles, developed from comparative studies of projects that succeeded and those that failed. As we work through the key principles, step by step, this programme will help equip you with the skills you need to make a success of managing your projects. Numerous examples and case studies will be used to illustrate how lessons learned can be applied in a wide variety of situations. These will cover smaller projects as well as large, commercial as well as in-house and well established as well as high-tech.
The course comprises an equal mix of theoretical and practical sessions to ensure that participants have the opportunity to apply the methods and techniques being presented. This highly interactive course enables delegates to experience various team and leadership roles during the two days.

Ignorance of the law is no defence. Providing you with authority in this complex subject!
Breaching health and safety legislation during any engineering project is a criminal offence which can lead to fines and imprisonment. Keeping up with legal requirements is a problem especially as the past couple of years have seen a mass of new health and safety regulations. Any engineer with line management responsibilities must appreciate the safety requirements of their own department and must be able to review them if these fall short of legal requirements.
This intensive and hands-on training course provides first a thorough foundation on all the practical aspects of managing health and safety and an overview of specific hazards in the typical engineer’s workplace. Then, it will provide you with comprehensive understanding of the requirements of the Construction, Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2007 and how these should be implemented in practice. The Regulations are put in context with other key health and safety legislation regulations.
As the CDM regulations are applicable to any engineer or technical professional involved, directly or indirectly, in construction work, this course will clearly help you outline the roles and responsibilities of the principal duty holders and explore through case studies how these roles may vary on different types of project and procurement routes.
