Merton Training Opportunities

TEC Training (GB) Limited is working in collaboration with Merton Adult Learning (MAL) to deliver ‘Skills for Jobs’. Providing high quality and sustainable adult learning programmes in order to support learners into employment, improving the social and economic wellbeing of Merton residents.

Our provision will involve delivering the following funded courses:

Personal Track Safety (PTS) Initial AC + DCCR

This is the mandatory qualification that every individual needs before they can work on or near the rail owned or managed by Network Rail. Before commencing this course, we will arrange for learners to carry out a compulsory medical and drugs and alcohol screening, which is a Network Rail requirement. The course will assess each learner’s knowledge in both Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current Conductor Rail (DCCR). There will be written assessments and practical assessments on track.

OLEC 1 – (Access Overhead Lines Construction Sites)

The aim of this course is to provide the basic knowledge required under OLEC 1 to access OLE construction sites safely and effectively for those who are directly or indirectly involved with OLE construction activities. This course is intended for candidates whose work involves accessing OLE Construction sites.

TIC – (Track Induction Course)

This course is intended to train individuals who are new to the track and whose work may involve the maintenance, inspection or renewal of the track or other duties that may affect the stability, position or integrity of the track infrastructure. The aim is to provide the basic underpinning knowledge of permanent way construction, components and working methods associated with maintenance, renewal, repair, adjustment and dismantling of permanent way assets.

Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW)

This course is ideal for anyone wishing to become an emergency first aider. This provides learners with skills and knowledge to deal with first aid situations in workplace environments for the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 and the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations (NI) 1982 purposes. A certificate and card will be issued upon completion, valid for 3 years.
