Caltrain maintenance & construction training

Overview of the Course

Akona was proudly selected to deliver specialist OCS training and develop robust standards for Balfour Beatty US on the Caltrain project.

Over two years, our expert trainers and assessors were deployed to California, working closely with the teams to deliver a comprehensive and high-impact training programme. We designed and developed a range of OCS courses and associated learning material to for the delivery of OCS competency training.

The training was exceptionally well-received, empowering participants with the skills and confidence needed to excel. Building on this success, we introduced a tailored mentorship programme to ensure seamless and safe implementation of the training in the workplace. This initiative was further supported by multiple visits from our assessment teams and the development of bespoke distance learning materials, reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.
