UITP TRAINING PROGRAMMES

One facet of knowledge management
UITP's experience in training is very recent as it launched its first-ever Training Programme for public transport executives only in 2002.

The success which it has enjoyed from the very outset is proof that the training caters for a very real market need. The mobility sector has evolved rapidly in recent years. In parallel, the professional knowledge and competences of the people responsible for planning, administering, operating and maintaining a public transport network have also changed.

To take up this new challenge, UITP has designed a training programme enabling UITP member executives to improve their general knowledge of the mobility sector and topical public transport issues. These include globalisation and liberalisation, sustainable mobility, fares, contractual relations between operators and authorities, integration, quality management and marketing, not to mention security, rolling stock innovations, passenger information and electronic ticketing.
