Birmingham
We are dedicated to creating the skilled engineering workforce of tomorrow.
Operating from our campuses in Doncaster and Birmingham, NCATI is part of the
University of Birmingham Group, and is led by a team with strong links with both
industry and education. This ensures that the skills we teach are ones that
employers in the transport and infrastructure sectors need. To deliver the major
infrastructure programmes and rail modernisation initiatives planned across the
UK, the engineering workforce needs a greater number of talented people, with a
different blend of skills, and from more diverse backgrounds. Our mission as an
organisation is to produce a new generation of highly skilled professionals from
a range of communities, changing what the rail industry looks like with new
segments of the UK joining Britain’s rail, transport, and infrastructure
workforce. Accessible from levels 3 to 6, our curriculum offer is for ages 16
and above, and includes part-time and full-time courses, as well as
apprenticeships. One of our values at the college is pioneering excellence, and
we strive to achieve this by utilising the best technology and facilities
available – with over £9 million of specialist kit and equipment donated to us
by our employer partners. Industry collaboration is integral to our success, and
NCATI has benefitted significantly from engaging with leading sector employers
like HS2, Honeywell, and Alstom. Our network supports us by offering
apprenticeships, work placements, mentoring and site visits. We also have guest
lecturers that come into the college and teach learners about the latest
innovations in the industry. Our learners are at the heart of everything we do.
That is why we have created a supportive learning environment with smaller class
sizes and personalised one-to-one mentoring, allowing every individual to thrive
and achieve their personal and professional goals.
