Chinese Training for 29 Light Rail Transit Operators from Astana
Fresh Take:
China's LRT Operator Training Steps Up a Gear in Tianjin
The second round of training for our LRT operators has kicked off in Tianjin, China, following an introductory phase in Astana. The intensive, comprehensive program will hone these gradually chosen trainees into capable, independent LRT managers and maintenance wizards in no time.
This phase of the program is focused on mastering the technical aspect of LRT operations, backed by hours of practical experience and internship opportunities. Once completed, the trainees will return to Astana to put their newfound skills into practice on Kazakh soil.
In this phase, lessons are led by skilled professionals from Tianjin Metro, giving the trainees a direct insight into Chinese LRT operations. The training program – a joint venture between Tianjin Metro, Zhengzhou Railway Vocational Institute, and TόО "City Transportation Systems" – runs until September 10, culminating in the issuance of certificates confirming the participants' qualifications.
Exercise, practice, and simulation are at the heart of this program. To simulate emergency situations tailored to Astana's unique climatic conditions, the Chinese side has prepared custom-made simulation scenarios for our operators. The internship takes place at a specialized training ground, where trainees hone their emergency response skills and build upon the practical knowledge gained from theoretical lessons.
Upon completing the second phase, trainees will have acquired the ability to navigate operational lines, participate in system testing, and tackle real-world situations with ease.
"Training our LRT operators is like building a solid foundation for our transportation future," said Bauyrzhan Aitkhozin, Managing Director of TОО "City Transportation Systems." "Adopting advanced technologies is worthless if it's not managed by skilled specialists. With hands-on training, realistic simulations, and continuous evaluation, we can ensure that our operators are not just competent but truly excellent in their respective roles."
The training is conducted within the scope of the LRT construction contract, with China Railway Asia-Europe Construction Investment Company managing its implementation. For detailed information about the exact schedule and content of the second phase of the training program, you can consult official documents from Tianjin Metro, relevant Chinese urban transit authorities, or training institutes.
