Case Study: Network Rail achieves faster, safer FELIX training with Kallidus

Network Rail cuts FELIX training from 5 days to 3 with Kallidus

Network Rail, the owner of Britain's railway infrastructure, faced the challenge of training staff to safely operate its new, complex FELIX track inspection technology. The existing five-day, in-person course was lengthy, and the safety-critical nature of the equipment demanded a more effective and engaging training approach. They partnered with learning solutions vendor Kallidus to reimagine this into a blended learning experience.

Kallidus implemented a solution using Articulate Rise and Unity to create a foundational eLearning course with interactive 3D models, complemented by a shortened three-day practical session and printable help sheets. This blended program from Kallidus successfully reduced total training delivery time by 40%. Furthermore, it empowered staff to perform inspections much faster, with the technology and training enabling five inspections in the time previously needed for one, and the solution contributed to Kallidus winning two national safety awards.
