About us
As the leading apprenticeship training provider in the UK we are proud to play a key role in apprenticeship training across the Electronic Fire & Security sector across the UK: through a range of mixed delivery methods we have a reach like no other.
Our links with individuals, employers and stakeholders are at the very heart of what we do. We aim to strengthen and develop these relationships and the services we offer over the coming years.
The period ahead will have its challenges, but we are starting out from a strong position – positive student feedback, excellent results and a brand new curriculum, combined with our skilled and highly motivated staff and the development of our new training centre into a truly 21st century centre of excellence.
We look forward to building on these strengths.
