In a boost for Transnet Freight Rail’s (TFR) skills development drive, another 145 of its employees have completed degrees, diplomas and certificates in railway operations management through the Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU).
Speaking at an event on Tuesday to honour the graduates, GCU principal and vice-chancellor, Pamela Gillies, pointed out that the study programme offered by GCU included a formal qualification in railway operations management.
The qualifications include Bachelor of Science degrees in railway operations management, Diplomas of Higher Education and Certificates of Higher Education.
The programme, which was launched in 2012, is delivered in a partnership between GCU’s School for Work Based Education, UJ, the UK’s Institution of Railway Operators and Transnet’s School of Rail.
It originated in the UK through collaboration with the Institution of Railway Operators.
