Learn about the safety measures that regulate the railway system to guarantee its correct operation following a completely up-to-date Postgraduate certificate" 

New safety standards establish, in general terms, that whenever a railroad system in use is modified, whether by a technical, operational or organizational change, the importance of the change must be evaluated to assess whether or not it is relevant in terms of safety railroad systems. In these cases, it is now standard practice to apply a risk management process in accordance with increasingly standardized and regulated methodologies.  

The above approach is also applicable to the design of new railway systems and has a special impact on the development and application of new technologies to be adopted in the railroad. This Postgraduate certificate in Railroad Risks and Safety will deal with this whole process in a detailed way, with a practical approach, which will allow the student to apply what they have learned from the very first moment. 

The experience of the teaching staff in the field of railroads, in different areas and approaches such as administration, industry and the engineering company, has made it possible to develop this practical and complete content oriented to the new challenges and needs of the sector. Unlike other programs in the market, the approach is international and not only oriented to one type of country and/or system. 

A 100% online Postgraduate certificate that provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
