One Year On at Unit B3, Reading
Growth, Gratitude and Greater Impact
September marks one year since MCP Technical Training moved into our new dedicated training centre in Unit B3, Reading. This anniversary gives us the opportunity to look back on the positive impact our move to the new unit has had - not only for us, but for our clients and delegates too.
More Space, More Courses, More People Trained
The move has made a tangible difference to the way we deliver training. With larger, modern facilities and increased training capacity, we’ve been able to:
Train a massive 45% more people than the previous year
Recruit additional expert trainers to meet growing demand
Introduce a broader and more flexible range of accredited courses
Invest in additional custom training rigs to enhance hands-on learning across key disciplines
Our New Courses Include:
