Introduction
This is the second course aimed at Railway Signalling Staff and is based on the original British Rail course of the same name. Candidates should previously have attended the Basic Signalling 1 course.
Objectives
The course has been split into six subjects and each subject has been arranged
into unique training modules each with it's own objectives. On successful
completion of the course the candidate will have the necessary knowledge to:
 | Interpret signalling
circuitry associated with signal and point control and indication
| Explain the use and
purpose of individual signal and point machine components
| Explain equipment
function operation and circuitry
| Outline basic fault
finding and maintenance techniques associated with signals and electrical
operated points | |
Subjects
| Points - Clamp Locks
and Machines
| Signalling Relays
| Controlled Signals and
Signal Circuitry
| Power Supplies
| Signalling Cables and
Wires
| Basic Fault Finding
| |
Who Should Attend
Candidates who need to broaden their knowledge of signalling practices Ideally
candidates should have successfully completed Basic Signalling 1 course (BS1) or
have equivalent knowledge.
Learning Approach
Classroom sessions and practical work.
Theory and practical assessments are included.
Features
Basic Signalling 2 further extends the introduction in Railway Signalling systems and associated maintenance techniques. This course prepares candidates to move on to specific equipment based courses and it provides some evidence for competence assessment in common equipment areas. This will Improve the candidates work performance in signal engineering activities through knowledge development. Hands on activities in a safe environment are included as part of this course.
