THE LOCKTEL ACADEMY VISION
The digital needs of the modern world are increasing, with greater need for faster and reliable connectivity. The engineering work force, primarily in the fibre optic network build for the UK has largely been imported prior to Brexit, and we have witnessed a diminishing engineering workforce post Brexit.The current training market for new UK home-grown skilled engineers is struggling to keep up with demand, with the largest UK training providers having long waiting lists to enroll students onto courses.We’re a dynamic and innovative enterprise dedicated to the development of people, primarily within the telecom world. Our core mission is to provide cutting edge curriculum, certification options through collaboration with industry partners. We’re committed to delivering exceptional value to our learners, industry partners, and stakeholders. We’re on a mission to contribute to the advancement of the telecoms industry through our training solutions and expertise.
WHAT IS THE LOCKTEL ACADEMY
Locktel Academy was founded in 2022 after the founders witnessed the challenges of growing an experienced engineering and technical workforce to meet the growing needs of fibre optic network builds within the UK. They observed the challenges faced by sister company Locktel Ltd (Telecommunication Services) to find fully accredited and experienced technicians in volumes and at the pace at which the industry demanded.
The majority of new engineers found would only have theoretical knowledge obtained from other training providers, with little practical knowledge.Their motivation was to establish an institution committed to delivering innovative, hands-on and cutting edge training programs that empowers learners to excel in the dynamic telecoms landscape.
