Seven courses covering CBTC, ETCS and High Capacity Signalling
ā delivered through Informa Connect Academy Asia Pacific.
Not sure where to start?
Three short questions, one clear direction
The longest-running public CBTC training in the world.
Next course starts 27 July 2026
This course will develop and deepen
a solid understanding of
Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC), regardless of the extent of railway signalling knowledge prior to this training.
The world-leading teaching methods
of CBTC fundamentals have been proven
and continuously updated and expanded
since 2014, making this course
the longest-running publicly available
CBTC training in the world
and the only CBTC training endorsed by the Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA).
The only ETCS training endorsed by the RTSA.
Next course starts 3 August 2026
This course will develop and deepen
a solid understanding of ERTMS/ETCS,
the European Train Control System,
regardless of your railway signalling
knowledge prior to this training.
The world-leading methods of teaching ETCS fundamentals have been proven and continuously updated and expanded for over seven years.
Together with a uniquely strong focus on the practical application of ETCS these teaching methods make this course one of the most popular ETCS trainings in the world and the only ETCS training endorsed by the Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA).
Getting high capacity right first time.
Next course starts 21 September 2026
This course develops your solid and comprehensive understanding of High Capacity Signalling, a worldwide trend for railways in growing cities with increasing mobility demand.
It is presently the only training focusing on
High Capacity Signalling in the world.
Covering the use of both CBTC and ETCS for achieving the desired signalling capacity targets, this training can serve as next step from Informaās CBTC Masterclass or ETCS Masterclass courses, but it is also understandable
as a stand-alone training.
Get ahead of interoperability problems.
Next course starts 28 September 2026
Digital Signalling, also known as Automatic Train Control, is a critical enabler for improved railway capacity and performance. However, different technologies, products and applications
may create a ādigital gauge breakā
that prevents interoperability.
Using Australia as an example
transferable to any other country,
this training compares the common
mainstream technologies for digital signalling, including Communications-Based Train Control (CBTC) and the European Train Control System (ERTMS/ETCS).
Interoperability of digital signalling is defined and thoroughly discussed in this course, and you will learn strategies for controlling and achieving interoperability in various scenarios that a railway may face when introducing Digital Signalling technologies.
Make use of the latest success research.
Next course starts 26 October 2026
Why is it that many projects for High Capacity Signalling end up not meeting expectations, despite seemingly good planning and delivery? Quite often the root cause for such failure is that key stakeholders clung to a āLegacy Mindsetā which worked fine in the old environment of conventional signalling but is not helpful or even obstructive for making the most
of High Capacity Signalling.
This course provides leading edge insights
on how railway professionals can evolve
towards a āHigh Capacity Mindsetā which
supports the railwayās business transformation
to higher service capacity and performance.
The tips and tricks to facilitate required change
will not just help the business transition
of railway organisations towards higher capacity but can be used in any situation of normal life where change or evolution is necessary.
Beyond the basics ā CBTC insights from global experts.
Next course starts 2 November 2026
How do you expand your CBTC knowledge
when you already know the basics?
What about watching leading CBTC experts talking about the hottest CBTC industry trends and the most interesting CBTC projects?
This groundbreaking concept led to
the world-first virtual CBTC World Summit.
The 18 conference presentations from around the globe have now been augmented with didactic commentary to provide a unique training curriculum of international expert insights on CBTC, the most sophisticated mainstream technology for advanced train control.
If you thought you already know
everything there is to know about CBTC,
I dare you to find out there is more
to learn in this course.
Start your railway signalling journey.
Next course starts 29 June 2026
This course will provide you with
a foundational knowledge and understanding
of railway signalling.
A key objective of this training is
to demystify signalling
which is often considered a ādark artā
within the railway community.
The teaching methods of this course
have proven successful for complete railway novices and experienced non-signalling railway professionals alike. They will make sure that you are able to understand everything taught here.
