Newcastle-under-Lyme College (NULC) and Martec Training have announced they are joining together to forge a new partnership offering motor vehicle apprenticeships for young people and adults across North Staffordshire .
Martec Training, which was established over 30 years ago by the Marson family, is a registered centre with City & Guilds and the Institute of the Motor Industry for the delivery of apprenticeships and other qualifications to motor trade employers across the local area.

The partnership, signed this week by Karen Dobson , Principal of NULC, and Martec Director Tracey Marson, will create new opportunities for both organisations whilst allowing each to retain their distinct identities.

Karen Dobson said “We’re delighted to be able to join forces with such a long established, high-quality organisation as Martec. Motor vehicle training is one of the few subjects which the College doesn’t currently offer to young people so this really complements the courses that we deliver at our Knutton Lane campus.”
Tracey Marson added “We’re really excited about this partnership – the College and Martec share the same philosophy of working with young people and employers to provide best possible training for the benefit of the local economy. Both organisations have achieved really good Ofsted reports and it makes sense for us to combine forces and work together so that more people can benefit from training that really delivers results.”
