TRAINING RECORDS, CERTIFICATION & ANNUAL COMPLIANCE TRACKING
US RAIL™ Academy provides a centralized electronic system for documenting, maintaining, and tracking workforce training records for participating rail and transit agencies. Our system is designed to help agencies maintain organized records and demonstrate ongoing compliance with applicable training, qualification, certification, and continuing-education requirements. For each eligible participant, US RAIL™ Academy maintains a training history that may include course completion, certificates of completion, qualifications or certifications, prerequisites, required refresher training, continuing education, expiration or renewal dates, and individual progress toward program requirements. Certificates of completion, qualification, or certification, as applicable to the specific course and program requirements, are issued electronically and maintained in the US RAIL™ Academy online Training, Certification & Compliance Tracking System for up to three (3) years. The system also enables participating agencies to track training and compliance annually, identify upcoming refresher or recertification requirements, verify that prerequisites have been satisfied, and maintain readily accessible documentation to support internal reviews, audits, and applicable regulatory or agency compliance requirements.
