Technical training related to railway track, railway bridges and other work are essential to all field officials for efficient performance and better output. Technical training is also necessary to transform fresh engineering graduates into practising engineer. Railway engineering being applied in nature requires both classroom training as well as exposure to field working. In order to cater for the need for Indian Railway and to achieve the above objective 'Advanced Permanent Way School' was started in 1959 at Pune. Since then, this institute has developed in leaps and bounds and today it is known as 'Indian Railways Institute of Civil Engineering' or IRICEN. The IRICEN primarily provides training to Officers of Indian Railways. In order to disseminate advancement in the technology and refresh the technical knowledge of subordinate staff, during 2014 the 'Senior Subordinate Technical Wing' or SSTW was started. In the changed scenario due to covid pandemic IRICEN quickly adopted the online module of training and is providing technical training to enhance the skills of all field engineers in both online and off line modes.
