Home: Resources: Mobile Training Unit

Following the introduction of our state-of-the-art mobile training unit in June 2005, the purpose-built unit is playing a vital role in taking cutting-edge electronics training to companies in Yorkshire and Humber.

The unique vehicle is fully equipped with the latest electronics training equipment, making access to the industry-specific training we’re famous for easier, simpler and affordable.

We have listened to businesses in the region and understand that it is not always easy to send employees on training courses to our training centre in Leeds due both to time and work constraints. That’s why we have taken the initiative of offering to bring training directly to your premises.

By hiring the MTU, you will have access to our wide range of tailor-made electronics courses and our dedicated trainers, who will be there to guide and assist.
