NOCN Group Exhibiting at ATC 2026: Workshops, Insights and Awards

With just one week to go until one of the biggest events in the education calendar, the Apprenticeships and Training Conference (ATC) returns on 2nd – 3rd March in Liverpool.

The event brings together training providers, awarding organisations, employers and industry leaders to explore the changing landscape of skills and training.

We look forward to joining the event to showcase our skills solutions, lead workshops on the future of skills and training, and join important discussions. Here’s how you can engage with us at this year’s conference.

Visit Us on Stand A23

Visit Stand A23 in the exhibition area to speak with our team about current priorities in the skills sector and how NOCN Group is supporting centres to navigate change.

Learn more about the support available through our Switch With Confidence campaign, where training providers can move to NOCN Group with ease, saving £700 through free centre approval and benefiting from expert migration support.

The education and skills landscape is evolving, and for many providers this is a time to reassess partnerships and ensure long-term stability. At NOCN Group, we understand that continuity and trust matter more than ever. That’s why Switch With Confidence has been designed to make your transition simple, fully supported and cost-effective — giving you the assurance you need to focus on delivering high-quality provision.

Attend our Workshops

We are also excited to lead two engaging workshops during the conference, tackling challenges at the forefront of further education and inviting discussion on the future of skills and apprenticeships.

Workshop 1: Modular Learning Strategies to Engage NEETs and Unlock MCA Funding – 2nd March - 14:15-15:15

Join us for an interactive workshop where expert voices will unpack practical strategies for providers, colleges and employer-led training teams.

This session will explore how modular learning can better engage NEETs (Not in Education, Employment or Training) while responding to evolving policy and funding opportunities.

Workshop 2: The Future of Assessment: Technology, Innovation, and Quality – 3rd March 10:35-11:35

In this interactive workshop, NOCN Group specialists explore where technology and AI genuinely add value in assessment and where robust quality assurance remains essential. Through applied scenarios and real examples from practice, you’ll gain clear, future-focused guidance to innovate with confidence and support consistent learner outcomes.
