At the time of the French railway sector opening, GETLINK (formerly Eurotunnel Group) was the first private company, at the heart of a public environment, to put its railway expertise at the service of new operators in the market, creating in 2004 , the CIFFCO training centre (Centre International de Formation Ferroviaire de le Côte d’Opale).
CIFFCO has been assisting railway operators and companies
operating on national or private rail networks for more than ten years in raising the skills of their teams. From initial training in order to learn a profession (freight train driver, “agent sol”...) to continuing education or specific training, the different activities of CIFFCO and its certifications strengthen over the years to always better meet the needs of its customers.
CIFFCO is characterized by attentive listening to its customers,
an ability to deliver and set up the expected training but also by an increased performance in the delivery of the training and employability throughout the whole industry, via the RNCP qualifications (French certification giving a university equivalent) recognised by French government as Train Driver and “Agent sol”.
RNCP QUALIFICATION
The registration in the French National Directory of Professional Training (RNCP) gives our courses a university equivalent in France. Passing the course allows the trainees to obtain a qualification that recognises all the skills and knowledge acquired during training in the eyes of the French government.
This recognition is a real guarantee of confidence in both the excellence of the training provided and its quality of access to employment.
