Advanced Railway Operation for the Philippines
IRaTCA is preparing another international event to be held in August, entitled Advanced Railway Operation for the Philippines.
This is the second training course devoted to Philippino trainees after the one in May 2010. Now IRaTCA’s Planning Manager Mr Choi Hyung-Gun is discussing how to organise the contents of the training program with co-host KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency).
After this step is arranged between the two parties, trainees are supposed to receive CI (Course Information) which gives information about IRaTCA, guidelines and things to prepare before their arrival in Korea. Other IRaTCA staff are also helping to organise it well in the pre-training step of the course.
