Assessments


Richardson Rail Services provides high-quality, engaging and informative training, designed to develop knowledge, strengthen competence and support continued professional development across the rail industry.
As an NSAR-accredited training and assessment provider, with RISQS certification, we are committed to delivering training and assessments in accordance with relevant industry and Network Rail standards.
We are one of the largest assessment providers in the Southern Region, supported by a team of more than ten experienced assessors. This enables us to provide a comprehensive and responsive assessment service covering a wide range of Sentinel and Non-Sentinel competencies, including Authorised Person (Track Handback).
Whether you require an individual assessment or support with the ongoing competence requirements of your workforce, our experienced team is here to help.
To undertake any assessment, your booking must be arranged through your Primary Sponsor. We are unable to accept bookings for individuals who do not have the appropriate Sentinel sponsorship in place.
Before attending assessment, delegates should also ensure that their Sentinel records are up to date. Where applicable, shifts should be correctly swiped using your Sentinel card, or the relevant work experience and entries should be recorded in your work experience logbook (Blue Book).
Please ensure all required sponsorship, competencies and supporting evidence are in place prior to booking to avoid delays or your booking being unable to proceed.
