About us
What is CIFFCO?
CIFFCO, Centre International de Formation Ferroviaire de la Côté d’Opale, a subsidiary of the GETLINK group, was the first private training organisation approved by EPSF to provide train driver training as well as training in essential safety tasks. It trains new recruits for any rail company working on the national rail network or private network.
CIFFCO is also approved by EPSF as an “organisation responsible for examinations on the general professional knowledge of train driving”.
We therefore have the experience and approvals necessary to provide train driver training on the national rail network, whether for freight or passenger service.
Our training offer extends beyond the rail sector to also include the industrial field : safety, prevention and electrical accreditations.
