Our facilities
The AMRC Training Centre is a part of both the University of Sheffield and its Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC).
We work together to create high-quality, innovative apprenticeship programmes built out of the state-of-the-art equipment and world-leading research facilities of both the AMRC and the university.
AMRC Training Centre
The training centre is a real-world manufacturing environment. Our apprentices gain hands-on experience with equipment used in the industry every day, from advanced five-axis machine tools to virtual reality welding machines and even robotics. In addition, we offer high-quality and high-level Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses and training for those wanting to progress their career in engineering sectors.
University of Sheffield
Our apprentices can access any resources available to students at the University of Sheffield such as their student support services, libraries and the Academic Skills Centre, which helps students improve academic skills that they want to strengthen. Those who go on to degree level have access to the University of Sheffield’s engineering facilities, including the Diamond, which is a state-of-the-art facility with 19 specialist engineering laboratories that offer practical learning experiences for our students.
Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC)
The University of Sheffield AMRC is a world-leading research and innovation network which is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. It develops industry-transforming solutions and helps de-risk innovation, working with more than 125 industrial manufacturing companies from around the globe and of all sizes including founding partners Boeing, Rolls-Royce, McLaren and Airbus.
South Yorkshire Institute of Technology
We are proud to be part of the South Yorkshire Institute of Technology (SYIoT) - a powerful collaboration of educators and employers from across the region committed to delivering higher-level technical education to invest in people and help close skills gaps in key areas.
