Vision Statement

 ‘SETA’s aim is to be the first choice provider of high quality training and education that continuously meets customer’s needs and exceeds their expectations’

Mission Statement 

SETA is dedicated to providing its customers with the highest level of service through the supply of quality training products to advance and promote education and training of the public generally, in the knowledge and skills requisite for employment in industry and commerce by a committed and highly trained workforce.

Purpose

Stockport Engineering Training Association (SETA) was formed in 1966 to provide training services to small and medium-sized engineering companies in the Stockport and Manchester area. Being 'owned' by those companies has enabled SETA to be 'employer led' with direct access and engagement with employers.

The feedback obtained from consultation with them has been used to develop training frameworks that meet the commercial and business needs of the companies. This relationship and the quality of training outcomes has enabled SETA to expand and engage the number of employers who are investing in the development of skills for work for their new and existing employees.

Today SETA is a major provider of work-based engineering and health and safety training in Greater Manchester across the UK and Ireland as well as in many European and Middle Eastern countries .

The Association is a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity. The Advisory Service company provides specialist training and consultancy services especially in the Industrial Safety, Supervisory and Skills Development areas.
