About us

What is CIFFCO?

CIFFCO, the Côte d’Opale International Railway Training Centre and a subsidiary of the GETLINK group, was the first private training organisation approved by the EPSF to deliver train driver training as well as training in critical safety tasks. It trains the new recruits of any railway company operating on the national rail network or private networks.

Our offer extends beyond the railway sector to include the industrial field: safety, prevention and electrical certification.
