Welcome to Vital Rail
Skill is about more than just competence. Real skill is achieved through good training and best practice - delivered safely. In short, we believe without safety, there is no skill.
So safety is high on the agenda within our own training company. Vital Skills Training goes beyond the traditional Safety Critical Courses, our training academy covers Plant Proficiency, Track Induction, Health & Safety and Industrial competencies.
An accredited NVQ training centre we are one of just a handful of companies delivering Level 2 & 3 NVQ’s in Permanent Way Engineering and Electricity/Gas Metering Installation, together with BESC, IPAF and IFF training.
