Over 22 months you'll develop your skills through a combination of structured learning and hands-on experience — applying what you learn to real industry challenges. As part of the programme, you'll build and develop machine learning models using real-world data, support the deployment of AI solutions into live environments, and work on projects linked to innovation across the rail industry. You'll collaborate with data, engineering and technology teams, while monitoring and improving model performance to ensure your work delivers real impact. You'll also gain exposure across organisations including GBRX, Network Rail and wider industry partners, helping you build a broad understanding of how AI is applied across the railway.

Structured learning combined with hands-on experience including building and developing machine learning models using real-world data, supporting deployment of AI solutions into live environments, and working on projects linked to innovation across the rail industry. Opportunity to complete cloud certifications and badges.

Network Rail operates the railway infrastructure across Great Britain, responsible for maintaining and upgrading the network that millions depend on daily.
