ABOUT NCT 
NCT was formed in 1986 and provided a comprehensive range of electronic courses to cover the requirements for Continuous Professional Development (CPD). 
 
In 2000 OakCAD bought the business and NCT became part of the OakCAD Training Group focusing on providing engineering distance/flexible learning courses. 
 
OakCAD was founded in 1994, in order to provide CAD training for design professionals. We soon became very successful providing delivered engineering and CAD courses to industry and these courses still continue today. Many of these delivered courses have now been redeveloped into distance learning format. 
 
In 2002 OakCAD Training reached the final of the highly prestigious National Training awards. 
 
Recently, we took over the delivery and support of a range of management courses approved by the Chartered Institute of Management. 
 
Our main operational office is located at the Open University in Milton Keynes and we have offices in Milton Keynes, Welwyn and Soham. 
 
We are a member of and subscribe to the ABCC Code of Ethics
