Atkins Training Academy Atkins Training Academy Recognising the significant demand for nuclear qualified engineers and the predicted growth of this over the next five to ten years, we opened our own Atkins Training Academy (ATA) in 2005. The Atkins nuclear training academy has trained more than 550 engineers in specialist skills over the past two years, taking both recent graduates as well as experienced professionals from other disciplines. As the next stage in the development of our training offering, Atkins has teamed up with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) to provide fully accredited university standard courses. By setting up this academy we have been able to extend our recruitment reach, bring in new skills and increase the overall talent pool by training engineers who have not worked in the nuclear sector before. Nuclear engineers have to have particularly high level expertise of the safety-critical environment they work in and through a two year structured training course, Atkins engineers gain a deeper understanding of the industry. Atkins is keen to help bridge the nuclear skills gap by opening up its own training academy to key partners in the nuclear industry. The academy courses range from an introduction to the nuclear industry right through to the design of fuel storage facilities. Atkins is continually looking at new courses to ensure staff receive the most appropriate and up-to-the-minute learning paths for their field. The programme includes: Introductory • Introduction to the Nuclear Industry • Online Skillport Radiological Protection Pathway 1-3 • Surrey University Nuclear Conversion Course • Nuclear Safety Case • Engineering Substantiation • Introduction to Nuclear Physics • Nuclear Safety Culture Intermediate • AGR Familiarisation (E-learning) • New Generation Reactor Technology • Radioactive Materials Handling, Storage and Transport • Fissile Material Lifecycle • Control and Protection in the Nuclear Industry • Decommissioning and Radioactive Waste Management Advanced • Reactor Materials and Lifetime Behaviours (NTEC - Manchester University) • Decommissioning, Technology and Robotics (NTEC - Lancaster University) • Management of the Decommissioning Process (NTEC - Birmingham University) • Particle and Colloid Engineering in the Nuclear Industry (NTEC - Leeds University) • Criticality Safety Management (Sultan) • Fracture Mechanics (Fracture Training Association) • Structural Integrity (Imperial College) • High Temperature Component Life Assessment (Imperial College) • RS Introductory Course • Processing Storage and Disposal of Nuclear Wastes (Sheffield University) • Environmental Impact Assessment (Liverpool University) • Earthquake Engineering (Professional Solutions) • PWR/Reactor Thermal Hydraulics Course (Sultan) • Nuclear Fuel Cycle Course (Sultan) • Reactor Physics (Birmingham University) • Safety Course (Loughborough University) Atkins Training Academy
