Training and Education
VT Group in the defence sector VT develops new ways of improving the delivery of essential support services for the armed forces of the UK and other nations. These range from the design and implementation of specific training programmes to the maintenance and logistic support of key assets, including communications systems, facilities, vehicles and aircraft. Senior defence decision makers value our experience to ensure they make the right strategic decisions and trust us to deliver. Air We provide fleet management and logistic support on a number of aircraft platforms. As well as supporting over 3,200 military aircraft worldwide, we offer air forces training and facilities management. VT is also a partner on both the UK Military Flying Training System (MFTS) and Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) programmes. Land VT delivers training, asset and facilities management at a number of army bases. We also provide and manage the MOD’s ‘white fleet’ of 15,000 non-frontline vehicles and are part of the consortium which manages the provision of the army’s construction vehicles. Sea Since 1996 VT has provided training and facilities management for the principal Royal Navy training establishments. We also supply and support strategic and tactical communications systems and infrastructure used by all three services.

What VT Group offers Value through partnering VT is highly regarded by the MOD for its approach to partnering. We work in partnership with customers to manage their current needs and plan together for the future. We add value by developing shared objectives and incentives to reduce programme costs whilst maintaining capability. Availability-based contracting By contracting to deliver an asset on an availability basis, our customers are able to transfer ownership risks to us. This lets us optimise and manage the assets needed to meet their requirements. An understanding of the military We have worked with the military for over 100 years and employ many ex-service and MOD staff who joined after retiring from the services or transferred through outsourcing contracts. This has instilled a deep appreciation of the military ethos, allowing us to quickly understand requirements and establish strong working relationships. Unrivalled training experience As the largest private-sector provider of vocational learning in the UK, we are well placed to provide the training, training support and technology that our military customers and their staff require.
