It’s designed to be a helpful web-based guide to highlight what’s available to employers in the nuclear industry to support their training and development. 

This new site allows the user to find out about all the excellent qualifications, Apprenticeships and training standards available across the Cogent science-using Sector. It feeds from the “Cogent Library” a database which contains approximately: 

     30 Standard job roles

Cogent is working with employers to ensure that the most appropriate qualifications, standards and training programmes are in place and accessible.
