1 TARGET AUDIENCE > High-potential managers with daily responsibilities in the administration, operation or maintenance of a public > Applicants must understand and speak English fluently. This is indeed crucial to participate in discussions and workshops (participants make oral presentations throughout the course). > Applicants are either new to the public transport sector with expertise in a specific area or have been working in a PT company for some years but would like to have a better insight into the entire sector. > Applicants are persons eager to learn from others but also to share their knowledge and experience. Networking is a key aspect of this course. > Selected participants must be aware that taking part in such a programme requires some commitment (and time!) before and during each module reading material, doing some research work and collaborating with other students in-between modules. TRAINERS AND GUEST SPEAKERS Top-level mobility professionals with extensive experience in public transport organisation and operation. They represent different regions of the world and various cultural approaches to addressing mobility issues. This reinforces the international dimension of the course beyond the geographical diversity of the participants. The sessions are therefore delivered by transport professionals for transport professionals. It is a rare opportunity to work closely with a network of transport professionals from around the world and to have time to substantively discuss topics as wide-ranging as operations, policy, finance, public relations and human resources. The program was excellent in that it provided a forum for exchange of information and practices in both formal and informal contexts.
