			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Location Design Project</h2>
<h2>Aim</h2>
<p>This course is intended for the signal engineer who needs to demonstrate their ability to create site specific location designs.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
<p>•	You will design a complete signalling location, in accordance with a project specification and current standards, under the guidance of our experienced mentor.<br />
•	A valuable resource which you can refer to will be the locations in our Derby training installation, which exemplify good and current location design and construction practice.<br />
•	This will demonstrate your ability to design interface circuitry for standard equipment types including signals, train protection, train detection and points.<br />
•	You can create a design either for a relay based or SSI type location, depending upon your needs and prior knowledge.<br />
•	The pencil and paper approach encourages you to think carefully about every detail of your design, instead of “copying and pasting” features which you may not understand.</p>
<h2>Course Outcomes</h2>
<p>On successful completion of the project you will have created a complete design for a location, which you can use as an item in your IRSE Licensing Portfolio of Evidence.</p>
<p>You will also create a personal report which describes how you created your design.</p>
<h2>Assessment and Certification</h2>
<p>Your project mentor will provide a witness testimony on your completion of the project.</p>
<h2>Pre-Requisites</h2>
<p>A well prepared delegate is expected to have a good prior knowledge of the standard interface arrangements for common types of equipment.</p>
<h2>Practical Information</h2>
<p>Duration: 10 Days</p>
<p>Location: at our Derby training centre, or on your premises (subject to equipment availability)</p>
<p>Maximum number of delegates: 10

<h2>Course Overview</h2>
<p>  This course provides an understanding of signalling principles as they are applied<br /> on the UK mainline network. It is of use in a variety of fields, including design, testing, maintenance, railway operations, project management or incident investigation.  </p>
<p>The content is drawn from our    IST - Layouts and IST- Control Tables courses, but involves less practical workin a shorter timescale. If you have a need for detailed understanding of signalling principles, we would recommend that you attend those two courses instead.</p>
<p>The course content includes:</p>
<p>Types of Signal and Route Indicator<br /> Classes of Route<br /> Positioning of Signals to suit operational needs<br />Signalling Plan Symbols<br />Interpreting the signalling plan<br />Train Warning and Protection systems   <br />Points arrangements   <br />Train detection arrangements<br />Functional Principles of equipment<br /> Interlocking Principles<br /> Route Life Cycle<br /> Understanding Points control tables<br /> Understanding Route control tables</p>
<p>The Signalling Principles Primer course is produced and run by Signet Solutions</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our range of design courses have all been newly written to reflect current principles, technology and workplace needs.</p>
<p>For your convenience we have labelled some courses with &ldquo;familiar&rdquo; three letter acronym titles. Despite this familiar labelling, we remind you that our courses are far superior to those same titles being offered elsewhere. Please see the individual course specifications to confirm the up-to-date and relevant content.</p>
<p>Our design training is based upon current Railway Group and Network Rail Company standards, supplemented by best practice guidance where these are unclear. However, we encourage a deep understanding of the principles and how they mitigate risks, rather than unquestioning adherence to standards or completion of boxes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Signet Solutions are aware that there are a number of widely recognised titles available within the Rail Signal discipline. Given our understanding of Rail Signal Training and the needs of the Rail industry needs, we believe that some training is being provided on the basis of “that’s the way we have always done it” approach. Signet Solutions events are based upon industry recognised standards as well as the Licensing scheme. The events utilise relevant Railway Group and Company Specifications to familiarise the delegates with the technical documentation that they will be working with in their roles.</p>

<p>Individual sessions will be supported by appropriate presentations and additional notes when necessary. This approach ensures that delegates are aware of the latest standards and procedures relevant to their role. Signet Solutions learning approach is to challenge delegates to investigate, learn and question how the works testing practices interfaces with the overall requirements for providing safe systems. This allows works testing to be viewed in context with other functions such as design, installation and maintenance whilst not overlapping the content. Our trainers take a supportive approach that enables individual needs to be addressed but without spoon-feeding. Most importantly our events are designed to maximise the opportunities for delegates to enhance their underpinning knowledge and practical experience.</p>
<p>Signet Solutions see this as a developmental process, therefore delegates are assessed throughout the events and the traditional individual assessment approach is always challenged. This does not lessen the impact of the events. Individual assessments are undertaken as necessary but delegates who require additional support and development are identified during the event and accurate feedback on individuals performance can be supplied to their manager upon completion of the event. Our approach assesses the solutions available, either additional training or additional support in the workplace but most importantly ensures the correct solution for the individual delegate.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our range of maintenance courses are written to reflect current principles, technology and workplace needs. This, very often lends itself to a bespoke solution, however we are very capable of running generic courses where this suits the needs of our clients. </p>
<p>For your convenience we have labelled some courses with “familiar” three letter acronym titles. Despite this familiar labelling, we remind you that our courses are far superior to those same titles being offered elsewhere. Please see the individual course specifications to confirm the up-to-date and relevant content. </p>
<p>Our maintenance training is based upon current Railway Group and Network Rail Company standards, supplemented by best practice guidance where these are unclear. However, we encourage a deep understanding of the operating principles of equipment and how maintenance procedures enable the equipment to be serviced accurately. We do however challenge the delegates to understand how they can impact on the system and ensure they work on the equipment safely and with good underpinning knowledge and practical ability which is assessed in a safe and controlled environment. </p>

<p>Our maintenance courses are supported by relevant demonstration using our suite of working practical equipment, including signals, points, track circuits, locations, SSI equipment, mechanical signalling, block circuits, route relay interlocking and entrance-exit control panel. </p>
<p>Signet Solutions are also able to design training to meet the specific needs of your staff in the maintenance field. We are able to train on any aspect of the maintainer’s role. </p>
<p>Signet Solutions have successfully delivered maintenance development programmes, which provide employers with an express train route to competent professional teams. </p>
