What We Do

The Technical Academy is a new concept in training for the construction and engineering  industry workers and students who want to make a career in the sector.

The Academy was established in September 2010 by East Durham College with the aim of re-creating a professional, construction and engineering-based working environment where learners could receive the latest training in trade areas that the industry needs.

We employ teams of highly-skilled tradespeople who are first-class construction and engineering training practitioners. Their experienced, expert approach brings both current and future construction workers and engineers up to the right levels of technical skill - and ensures that those skills are applied in a professional and knowledgeable manner.

Our mission is to turn out confident learners with the highly-accomplished trade skills
that the construction and engineering  industry and today’s employers demand.

The East Durham College’s mission statement is Creating Outstanding Futures -
an ethos that runs through everything we do.
