We are an independent training provider, established in 2014 by the MTC. We aim to embed future skills throughout a new generation of engineers and technicians who will help to realise the UK's advanced manufacturing potential.
Delivered by proven experts recruited from the manufacturing and engineering industries, our programme builds on strong foundation of traditional skills, overlaid with themes of emerging technologies, through which we equip apprentices for a rapidly developing engineering sector.
We were named IMechE's Advanced Apprenticeship Training Provider of the Year 2019, and deliver our award-winning programme to employers based throughout the UK from our two state-of-the-art centres in Coventry (AMTC) and Oxfordshire (OAS).
