A successful international Training and Examinations programme sees around 25,000 students trained each year in welding and inspection technologies.

In 2015, TWI opened three new laboratories at its Cambridge headquarters, including state-of-the art facilities for the National Structural Integrity Research Centre, a dedicated postgraduate centre for industry-led engineering research.

Alongside is its management of an Innovation Network where a growing number of Innovation Centres are positioned to share research and technology capabilities, undertake joint research programmes and develop the next generation of technologies and engineers in the selected research disciplines.
