Students of the Tess Valley Civil Engineering Institute at a construction site

The Civil Engineering Institute project is the result of a partnership between two of Hartlepool’s largest employers and providers of vocational training – Seymour Civil Engineering and Hartlepool College of Further Education – and Hartlepool Borough Council.

The project provides investment in the growth of teaching and training capacity at two existing sites:

  1. Hartlepool College of Further Education Exeter Street Annex: 1960s college training facility (classrooms & workshops) for fabrication, welding and construction skills located in the Church Street area.
  2. Seymour Skills Academy, Brenda Road: 11-acre ‘real world’ training ground with teaching facilities opened in 2019. The academy offers space and capital equipment for practical and classroom skills delivery across house building, surveying, planning, street works, plant & machinery training, horticulture, landscaping, tree surgery and general construction operative apprenticeships. The Academy is located at Brenda Road.

Following investment in refurbishment and expansion, the two facilities will be brought together as the Civil Engineering Institute – with specific additional capacity to support the rapid development of professional skills to support the rollout of 5G full fibre to full UK coverage by 2033. The Institute is working directly with City Fibre, build partners and Digital Telecoms Network Academy (DTNA), specialists in digital telecoms accreditation.

    Dr Darin Gunesekera asked 9 months ago

    Hi Dr Gunesekera and thank you for your question. The new Skills Academy is not yet completed and the capital build is expected to be finished in the first few months of 2024. As yet, we have no confirmed date for opening and operation but once this is confirmed we will post information on this page. However, skills academy facilities are already provided through a partnership between Hartlepool College and Seymour’s Civil Engineering and more information can be found here: https://www.hartlepoolfe.ac.uk/courses/seymour-skills-academy
