Who are SETA?


The Southampton Engineering Training Association (SETA) was established in 1969 specifically to train engineering apprentices.  

SETA was established in 1969 as a Company Limited by Guarantee (not for profit with no issued shares) and is a registered charity (Charity Commission No 307299), directed by an executive council of leaders elected by our members. 

The training centre in Millbrook, Southampton was opened by Earl Mountbatten of Burma and has continuously managed apprenticeship programmes and delivered upskilling and engineering training to both apprentices and adults.



Today, we have over two hundred and fifty apprentices on programme with us.
