Training Consortiums

The Transportation Learning Center (the Center) organizes multiple national training consortiums to develop standards-based national training courseware for frontline occupations in public transportation organizations.

The Center convenes national consortiums to create courseware for the following occupations: Rail Car, Signals, Traction Power, and Elevator/Escalator. Materials are based on the national training standards published by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA).  Courseware Development Teams (CDTs), comprised of subject matter experts and instructional designers, hold regular webinars, site visits and in-person meetings to produce these materials.
