Engineering with Nuclear

The multi award-winning National College for Nuclear at Bridgwater & Taunton College has truly dedicated state-of-the-art facilities including reactor simulator, and virtual reality training environment and will provide tomorrow’s engineers with high-tech, specialist training to support the nuclear industry. Working with our industrial partners such as EDF Energy ensures the training and education provides a unique world class experience that develops the skills needed in this high profile, technical and demanding sector. They allow students to gain technical knowledge and real practical experience, along with behavioural and personal skills, required for their future career. These are acquired through a mix of learning in the workplace, learning through the National College for Nuclear formal and the opportunity to practise and embed new skills in a real-world context. The National College for Nuclear (NCfN) vision is to create a world-class nuclear curriculum that meets the current and future demands of industry and learners, and offers: A world class “higher level vocational pathway” for the UK nuclear industry A nuclear curriculum with progression routes to jobs in the nuclear sector Nuclear-specific qualifications and training that meet the needs of employers, including the Defence sector The highest standards from accredited and fully validated providers and courses Support for the UK’s nuclear industrial strategy through addressing key skills gaps A reputation for innovation and outstanding quality International recognition for nuclear vocational training Collaborative partnerships with best in class Nuclear HEIs to develop and deliver higher vocational training content A unique task- and project-led curriculum to emit and draw knowledge and core competencies together at the point of work, equipping learners with ready skills and a core set of behaviours that allow them to enter their careers more rapidly This Degree programme is designed to maximise employment opportunities within the nuclear (or broader engineering) sector.
