During the course of their training module, the candidates will be given exposure to the latest technology like the Siemens signalling system, emergency systems, rolling stock, station operation and management, and other aspects. They will also undergo simulator training in which they will learn how to drive the trains in modes like Automatic Train Protection (ATP).
