Welcome to Central Technical Training (CTT) at the Nuclear Power Academy at Barnwood, Gloucester. The team provides world class training and all the support necessary to ensure that your time spent here is rewarding, relevant and successful.

We are committed to delivering excellent training to both new and experienced nuclear professionals, who are engaged in the operation and support of nuclear power stations.

EDF Energy demands high standards not only of trainees but of instructors and leaders. These are detailed in the nuclear generation training standards and expectations which are displayed in all venues where training is delivered, and are included for your reference overleaf. Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with them before attending any training event.

Technical training’s aspirations


5

Training is a critical tool supporting personnel investment and performance improvement. As such, Nuclear Generation is committed to, and accountable for, developing and sustaining training programmes that meet organisational and personnel needs.

A Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) is essential to ensure that training needs are accurately identified, training is effectively delivered to the right audience, and line managers are integrally involved. Critical success factors of world class training:

●● training is a key leading indicator to succession management and the long term health of the organisation

●● line managers are responsible for the effective training and qualification of their personnel

●● line managers monitor personnel performance to ensure that training contributes to safe and reliable plant operation and to identify training opportunities and solutions

●● training reinforces management standards and expectations

●● training programmes integrate key messages and expectations (eg human performance) to embed future and expected behaviour

●● training provides the knowledge and skills needed for independent job performance and incorporates operating experience from previous internal and external events

●● training resources (personnel and facilities) meet the needs of the organisation

●● training is developed and conducted following systematic, rigorous processes to ensure effectiveness

●● personnel assigned training responsibilities are the organisation’s best and can influence others to a higher level of performance

●● all personnel within the organisation have a responsibility, and a role to play, in the systematic approach to training to deliver these key elements.

Philosophy

The Accreditation team is responsible for organising and managing the evaluations of all accredited training programmes across the eight stations as well as Engineering and Design Authority (ENG & DA). This is facilitated and managed through the three corporate EDF Energy specifications ‘BEG/SPECS.’

●● BEG/SPEC/TRNG/601 Training Standards and Accreditation, Process and Functional Arrangements

●● BEG/SPEC/TRNG/602 Training Standards and Accreditation Board, Accreditation Reference Manual

●● BEG/SPEC/TRNG/603 Training Standards and Accreditation Board, Accreditation Handbook.

The accredited training programmes fall into 4 categories:●● operations●● maintenance●● engineering●● technical and safety

Copies of the above documents are available via the Controlled Document Management System (CDMS) or your local training centre.

Apprentice programme

We see this as a fantastic opportunity for the fortunate young people who have been successfully chosen from our rigorous recruitment processes. The facilities at both HMS Sultan and HMS Collingwood are second to none, where they can learn, grow and develop into responsible young adults/apprentices, ready to come back to site in year three with the appropriate knowledge, skills and behaviours required to enable them to progress to their apprenticeship completion after year four. During years three and four they will be coached, mentored and supported by station staff, so that they become valuable members of the station’s maintenance department.
