Over the past year, our training provider DB Rail Academy has partnered with Hellenic Railways (OSE) to strengthen railway training capabilities in Greece. The project stands as a milestone in a close collaboration aimed at modernizing railway training in Greece. Recently, results were presented at OSE's Athens headquarters in the presence of Alternate Minister of Transport Konstantinos Kyranakis and senior representatives from OSE management and the Greek Ministry of Transport. Together, the teams covered a broad range of measures, from organizational development and curriculum design to infrastructure modernization and the introduction of digital and VR-based training applications. To generate short-term impact, local trainers were qualified, employees received ETCS training, and a mobile simulator was installed to advance locomotive driver training. The modernized training center will serve as Greece's central hub for railway expertise — delivering high-quality education for young talents and continuous professional development in new technologies and regulations.
