Group Training Associations

Semta works with Group Training Associations and other training providers and they are key partners in the delivery of Apprenticeships.

 

The Group Training Associations were first established by groups of local employers in the 1960s, and there are now upto 70 Engineering Group Training Associations serving approximately 16,000 companies, estimated to employ over 1 million people.

 

Semta have produced a directory providing key contact details for many training providers and Group Training Associations (GTAs) in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in addition to registered centres in Scotland.  The directory has been designed for employers and individuals who require assistance with training advice, apprenticeships or improving skills within Engineering in addition to the government sources of advice.

 

Many of the Group Training Associations listed in this document have charitable status and while most groups still have core engineering company membership and have maintained their engineering expertise, their scope has broadened in line with training and business demands. They are able to offer a wide range of training provision and services, mainly to Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) who may have limited budgets, including;

  • NVQ assessments
  • advising on workforce development
  • analysing training needs
  • providing health and safety training and guidance 
  • management training .
