COVID-19 UPDATE

The Metro Academy has implemented risk mitigation strategies based on guidance provided by our Chief Medical Officer. Non-essential training has been deferred, or online training has been offered as a suitable alternative. Where necessary face-to-face training continues when core rail training is required, and skills must be demonstrated so the integrity of assessment requirements are maintained.

Where possible the Metro Academy adheres to the social direction provided. The following measures have been introduced in the workplace setting to closely align with physical distancing measures:

• Increased frequency of cleaning and sanitising of our training locations
• Hand sanitiser placed around the building for all to utilise
• Reducing class sizes to no more than 12 students
• Classrooms combined to create larger areas
• Classrooms tables being separated from other table by a minimum of 2 metres
• Classrooms and other area having a minimum indoor space of 4 square metres per person
• Staggered class starting times to minimise instances of high volume of learners in any one area (eg, reception)
• Signage prompting learners to limit amount of people in kitchen facilities and common areas.

Changes to courses due to COVID 19

Metro Trains is committed to providing essential safety training in an environment that is safe for both students and staff. As part of this commitment and COVID Safe Plan, we are removing complimentary catering arrangements to reduce the risk of infection. As of the 5^th of September students will be required to bring their own lunch. Some local food outlets are trading during the Covid-19 restrictions. Trainers will be able to direct you on the day.

As always we thank you for your understanding.

We are now accepting bookings for Safely Working in the Rail Corridor (SWIRC)

Building and maintaining top class skills and capability is a top priority for the global railway industry. This is the very reason for the establishment of the Metro Academy.

With access to unrivalled knowledge of Melbourne’s metropolitan railway and backed by Hong Kong’s MTR, which is arguably the best engineered railway in the world, the Metro Academy offers Australia’s railway workers and contractors access to superior training opportunities.

As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) delivering both nationally recognised units of competence and purpose built non-accredited training programs, the Metro Academy is well positioned to provide the industry with fit for purpose training solutions.

Below are the documents relevant to learners undertaking training with the MTM Registered Training Organisation (RTO # 40535) and Metro Academy.
