Mobility Equipment Training Centre

There's a shortage of mobility engineers worldwide.

Between 350,000 and 450,000 mobility scooters are in use across the UK alone, with 60,000–70,000 sold every year, a market growing 10% annually. We train the engineers this industry needs.

Since 2018

Real skills, taught by someone who's done it.

I am Stephen Whitmore. I have 40 years of teaching experience and over 20 years in the mobility market. In 2018 I opened this training centre to pass on that skill and knowledge — and it's worked.

​

Since then, over 80 new businesses have been created, 40+ jobs secured, and many engineers already working in mobility have sharpened their skills. On the back of that success, we've launched online courses too, so you can learn without the time and cost of travel or hotels.
