A college has been granted £400,000 in government funding to develop a brand new facility. Nottingham College is expanding its EMTEC Centre, operating from its Ruddington campus, which is already home to the college's commercial and automotive employer services offer.
More than 735 apprentices receive specialist automotive training at the centre through partnerships with renowned automotive brands, and now the centre is able to offer specialist training utilising a new fleet of electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.
These new vehicles will increase the centre’s capacity to meet the demand for highly skilled, trained automotive technicians and EV specialists to help repair, service and maintain the electric and hybrid plug-in cars on the roads.
