The theoretical part of the exam consists of solving a test that tests the participant's knowledge and skills in occupational health and safety, as well as the principles of operation and maintenance of railway vehicles. The practical part, on the other hand, consists of demonstrating one's skills in maintaining and operating railway vehicles in front of an examination board from the Office of Technical Inspection.
