Oxfordshire Advanced Skills (OAS)

At Oxfordshire Advanced Skills (OAS), we are passionate about creating the next generation of engineering talent and providing future skills to the current manufacturing workforce. 

We specialise in delivering fully-funded engineering apprenticeships at levels 2, 3 and 4, as well as commercial CPD courses, including HNC. Our training courses are designed in partnership with advanced manufacturing businesses to meet the specific training needs of industry, and those of individual learners. 

Our programmes are delivered by MTC Training, the skills arm of the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), which was awarded an overall rating of “Good” at its first full Ofsted inspection in March 2023, with "Outstanding" for "Personal Development" and "Behaviour and Attitudes". 

OAS is a partnership between UK Atomic Energy Authority and the Science and Technology Facilities Council who, between them, have a 70-year history of apprentice training in science and engineering.
