A subsidiary of North East training group Learning Curve is to open a new academy in Newcastle to train young people seeking careers in the Armed Forces and uniformed services.
MPCT, which was acquired by County Durham’s Learning Curve Group last year, is launching the new facility at the Army Reserve Centre in Walker with open sessions on Thursday. Places on the course – which are free, thanks to Government funding – are designed to give young people the experience of learning in a real-life military environment. The courses aim to pass on useful military skills, knowledge and fitness which will prepare young people for military applications.
Brian Edwards, executive director of military academies at Learning Curve Group, said: “I am delighted to be opening a brand new MPCT academy in Newcastle to support young people across the region gain the skills and experience they need to move into a successful career in the Armed Forces and uniformed services.
