CBTC is the high performance signalling technology of choice in way over 100 cities around the world. Do you want or need to learn about CBTC but don't know where to start? Or do you feel overwhelmed and clueless? Because you may consider signalling a "dark art", and therefore CBTC as the "uber signalling" must surely be even more incomprehensible than conventional signalling?

You can now safely put those fears and prejudices aside as help for you is just a few clicks away.

This training was carefully designed and refined over many years to pick you up from wherever you are on your signalling learning curve (even if you think you start at "ground zero"!) and provide you with a sound and comprehensive foundation of easy-to-understand and memorable CBTC knowledge. The CBTC Kickstarter training has been around since 2014 and helped hundreds of railway professionals from all disciplines and backgrounds to gain the knowledge and confidence to understand something they might have previously considered "rocket science".

Things you will learn during this CBTC training include:
* What is CBTC and what makes it genuine
* Simple frameworks for memorising architecture, key functionalities and benefits of CBTC
* CBTC on one page (really!)
* Why interoperability between different CBTC products is such a problem
* Foundations and trends of data communications for CBTC
* Key CBTC subsystems and their interaction
* What all those acronyms mean that are commonly used by the "pros"
* What are the key benefits of CBTC and what drives those benefits
* How to implement CBTC the smart way (and what's not so smart that better be avoided)
* The best ways of interfacing CBTC to legacy signalling (my "golden three" interface types)
* How the CBTC supply industry is structured and what a feasible supply strategy could look like
* The significant changes in engineering tasks between CBTC and conventional signalling
and so much more (but I do not want you to feel overwhelmed - you really will learn all that, trust the proven process).

This CBTC training consists of thirty (30!) video lessons with over eleven hours of top-quality training, six knowledge checks and introductory videos to guide you through the course, which makes it arguably the most comprehensive CBTC training worldwide. I did some benchmarking with the (very few and far between) other CBTC trainings in the global market and can proudly assure you that this CBTC Kickstarter training offers by far the best value for money regarding training duration versus price. CBTC Kickstarter is also the most established and longest-running public CBTC training worldwide.

As for evidence of the course quality, you will probably know that railway people are usually a bit shy in giving public praise for anything, especially in front of a camera, but I managed to capture testimonials from at least some of my previous course participants who all spoke most highly about this course. (That video below was shot in 2014 as a teaser for subsequent live classroom trainings, but the messages are timeless and still applicable today.) And take my word that those testimonials reflect what everybody had to say about this training!
 
Here are some other quotes from participants of this CBTC training:

"Had a great time and learned lots."
"Very enjoyable, engaging and informative. Really good."
"Excellent. A solid CBTC basis, presented in a fun and informative manner."
"Great course, excellent content, will be very useful for upcoming changes."
 
(As a mandatory disclaimer for any testimonials, please note that the statements above and in the video are individual and personal feedbacks of previous training participants which cannot indicate let alone guarantee your own learning success.)

CBTC is not going away once it has been introduced. If it gets anywhere close to where you work, trust me that your best option is to familiarise yourself with it and avoid the feeling that you want to hide in a corner from "those signalling nerds". You will have the knowledge and confidence to talk to the "pros" at eye level, distinguish "X from U" and call out people who try to pull wool over your eyes. Avoiding CBTC that has gained a foothold in your railway will be next to impossible and a potentially serious threat to your further railway career, so why not fall forward and embrace it?
 
This CBTC training is the best tool for kickstarting your CBTC journey, whatever that journey may end up being. And helping you it will, as it has been proven time and again for all of my training participants over the last eight years since launching this course for the first time.
 
Some extras you will get with this training:
* A knowledge check at the end of each of the six sections of the training.
* A course certificate upon your completion of the training.
* 12 months of Q&A email support on the course content (unique in the signalling training industry).
* Bonus #1: You will get a full glossary of acronyms used in this training for download.
* Bonus #2: An exclusive video on the future of Australian signalling, comparing my 2014 view with the state of affairs in 2022.
* Bonus #3: An exclusive video analysing the quest for CBTC interoperability in New York City.

I look very much forward to helping you boost your CBTC education. See you inside - can't wait.
Keep it simple (that's the course mantra),
