Following the recent acquisition by the University of Sunderland, Access Training is undergoing a period of significant growth and will assume responsibility for the current MTC portfolio from 1st April 2025.
Working together, Access will continue to provide MTC’s complete range of training programmes at their current site in St Peter’s Gate, Sunderland, in addition to other offerings in Accounting, Business and Management, and Fire & Security at their site in Team Valley, Gateshead.
Access Training’s Managing Director, David Armstrong, said: “With over 40 years of training experience, particularly within apprenticeships, we have a proud history of delivering high quality training over a broad portfolio of subjects.
“We are confident that we will be able to build on the strong relationships established with MTC over the years and we look forward to working with the MTC team to build on the respective successes of each organisation.”
MTC Training is one of a number of successful commercial enterprises formed by the University of Sunderland, and are experts in delivering IT, Leadership, Management & Business Administration training and apprenticeships.
Their expert trainers will continue to deliver in areas such as IT Technical, Desktop Applications, Advanced Leadership & Management Training and Advanced Apprenticeships in Team Leader / Supervisor and Business Administration, with additional support and expertise from Access Training.
David Armstrong continues: “Through our ongoing partnership with the University of Sunderland, we now have the opportunity for two fantastic organisations to work to grow together, increase learner pathways and increase our impact on the north-east region.”
The University of Sunderland’s acquisition of Access Training, and this new partnership, will allow for a broader range of programmes, supporting greater access to apprenticeships and other commercial training routes, and providing alternative pathways to higher education.
Amanda Corbitt, Head of Commercial Training Services at the University of Sunderland, said: “The University is excited at the merger of MTC and Access Training which will enhance and broaden our existing CPD and Apprenticeship portfolio.
“This new partnership will strengthen the offer from both organisations whilst also providing Access Training’s customers the opportunity to explore exceptional progression routeways to higher-level degree apprenticeships.
“These include programmes such as MBA Level 7 Senior Leader, MSc Level 7 HR, and BSc (Hons) Digital, equip learners with the skills and qualifications to excel in their careers while empowering employers with the skilled talent needed to drive growth.”
Gateshead-based Access Training provides upskilling courses and apprenticeships in HR, project management, team leading and management, accountancy, business administration, school support, digital, marketing and fire, emergency & security systems.
We have been delivering training programmes for businesses and individuals across the North East for over 40 years. We have a genuine interest in the success of the companies we work with and the people we train, and we aim to provide a personal, bespoke service.
