Electronics Yorkshire has assisted in the set up of a new electronics training workshop facility for Derwent Training Association at its newly extended premises at Malton, North Yorkshire.

The new workshop facility has been equipped to the highest standards following expert advice from staff at Electronics Yorkshire and includes benches, tools, parts and stock components for trainees to carry out practical training.

The dedicated facility, which can cater for up to six students at a time, will give electronics companies in the North and East of the region even greater access to the wide range of courses on offer from Electronics Yorkshire, without trainees from the area always needing to travel long distances.

In addition, the new facility will enable Derwent Training Association to further enhance its own electronics-related apprenticeships, GCSEs and evening classes.

Electronics Yorkshire, an internationally-recognised IPC Official Certification Centre of training, now offers more than 20 courses covering industrial entry-level soldering to advanced, certified IPC trainer courses, all of which are designed to support industry growth and development.

Electronics Yorkshire, the not-for-profit organisation supporting and promoting growth of electronics in Yorkshire and Humber, is funded by Yorkshire Forward, the Learning and Skills Council and EU ERDF and ESF.
