A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN
by etcgroup
14-16 PROVISION
As a part of the Education Training Collective we offer academic and vocational programmes for 14 to 16-year-olds at multiple venues across the local area. All of our courses are delivered by highly qualified teachers and industry professionals. To find out more about our 14-16 provision give us a call on: 01642 631420.
VOCATIONAL COURSES
Our full-time vocational courses will give you the skills and knowledge you need to help start your career in engineering. Combining the theory with lots of hands-on practical experience, these courses can lead to employment, an apprenticeship or university.
A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN
Created with your future career in mind, we have two purpose-built facilities in Stockton. As a NETA student you will be based in our main site on Pennine Avenue, however some specialised elements of the course may be delivered over the road at NETA (Lustrum).
KNIFE TREE PROJECT
At NETA we are excited to be working with Stockton Riverside College, Cleveland Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Office to create a sculpture aimed at raising awareness of the dangers of knife crime.
The structure, which has been designed by art students at the college and is being built by a team of NETA students and staff, will incorporate more than 2000 knives surrendered to police.

ECITB SCHOLARSHIPS
Over the last few years we have been successful in delivering the ECITB’s scholarship programmes. The scheme supports learners nationally in a range of engineering disciplines. At NETA we are proud to have built a strong partnership with the ECITB and we are looking forward to being part of this new flagship programme. Our aim is not just to give our students the technical skills of their trade but also the attitude and behaviours that employers demand. This is another opportunity to further develop our young people, to put them in front of employers and showcase all they have to offer.
MULTI FAITH ROOM
Our Multi Faith Room caters for all faiths and is designed to be a quiet space for reflection. The room is calming and is situated just off the main workshop where students and staff can access it during the day. A notice on the door is used to show when the room is being used to allow for privacy.
UPGRADED WORKSHOPS
We are constantly working to ensure our facilities replicate those you would find in the workplace. Look out for our recently upgraded engineering workshops with dedicated industry specification mechanical, instrumentation and control and electrical areas, our fully refurbished hydraulic suite, and 24 new electrical bays!

NETA FLIGHT CLUB
Join us for our 12-week programme starting in January 2022 to produce a radio-controlled flying model aircraft! The sessions will last from 4pm-6pm once a week and are comprised of a short lesson followed by workshop production. Each participant will complete a weekly log of what they have learned and at the end of the programme learners will see their aircraft fly and be given the opportunity to have a go (with expert tuition).
BRIDGE CAFÉ
Enjoy home cooked food in our Bridge Café. This is the place to grab a hot drink, a quick snack or a hot/cold meal, with different menus served up every day.
APPRENTICESHIPS
If you feel ready to start work then an apprenticeship could be the right choice for you.
At NETA we work with more than 500 businesses, so we know what employers are looking for in their new recruits. We can help match you with employers who are looking for an apprentice, as part of our application, testing and interview process. Alternatively, you may find a sponsor company who is willing to take you through your apprenticeship.
Once you have found a company, we will set up a detailed training plan which will be in line with both the company’s and the external awarding body’s requirements and in line with the apprenticeship standard.
APPRENTICESHIPS WE OFFER INCLUDE:
Level 3: • Maintenance and operations engineering technician: in electrical and mechanical and instrumentation • Pipefitting • Welding • Rigging • Fabricators
Level 2: • Scaffolding • Engineering Operatives
T LEVELS
T Levels are a new two-year course, being introduced by the government, primarily aimed at 16 to 19-year-old learners. The equivalent to three A levels, they are a level 3 technical option that combines classroom-based learning with a strong element of on-the-job training through a 45-day industry placement.
T Levels have been developed in select subject areas, alongside employers and businesses to ensure they meet industry needs. The courses are being rolled out gradually to colleges and providers.
The qualification is made up of two main parts, a technical qualification and an industry placement.
Technical qualification:
• Core content (knowledge and skills relevant to all occupations covered by the T Level). • An occupational specialism (the knowledge and practical skills to enter employment in a particular occupation).
Industry placement:
• Every T Level will include an industry placement with an employer, which will last a minimum of 315 hours (approximately 45 days) but can be longer.
T Levels are the technical equivalent to three A levels. They will cover core theory, concepts and specialist skills and knowledge for a specific career or occupation. The main difference between the T Level and a level 3 course is the compulsory industry placement. This will last a minimum of 315 hours and makes up 20% of the course. Academically demanding, T Levels incorporate English, maths and digital content.
Apprenticeships are built for those who know what occupation they want to pursue and are ready to enter the world of work. They are typically made up of a combination of 80% on-the-job training and 20% in the classroom. T Levels have been developed in collaboration with employers and providers so that the content “meets the needs of industry and prepares students for work”. T Levels are based on the same industrial standards as apprenticeships, created specifically by employers and approved by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education.
To find out more about the T Levels being delivered at NETA Training Group from September 2022 please email: apply@neta.co.uk or call: 01642 616 936.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT COURSE
We want you to feel happy and confident on your course, so here’s a few tips for making the right choice…
• Think about what you are good at and the subject areas you enjoy most. • Consider how you learn best, do you enjoy learning the theory or are you more of a hands-on practical learner? • Have you got a future career in mind? If so, find out what qualifications you need.
Remember, there are more routes to your chosen career than you might think. Have a chat with our Student Recruitment Team, careers advisor or teachers, about the best option for you.
