Royal Signals Expands Range of CNet Training Technical Education Programs Available to Soldiers

CNet Training has strengthened its longstanding partnership with the British Army’s Royal Corps of Signals and the Defence School of Communications Information Systems (DSCIS) to deliver the latest industry technical education to soldiers.

DSCIS has a mission to train and educate information and communications engineers, technicians and operators in order to meet the requirements of Defence and needs of trainees now and into the future. The 11th (Royal School of Signals) Signal Regiment, located in Blandford Forum Dorset, provides technical training for all Royal Signals Soldiers.

CNet’s CEO Andrew Stevens and Head of Technical Development Clint Sherratt (ex-Forces and Reservist) visited Blandford to sign an update to the existing agreement, which expands the range of certified technical education programs that CNet is contracted to deliver to Royal Signals Regular and Reserve soldiers.

CNet has been providing network cabling certifications in both structured cabling and fibre optics to the Royal Signals since 2017. The Royal Signals has now chosen to extend the range of technical education options that are available to soldiers from CNet, to include programs covering project management, integrated infrastructure and network infrastructure design. This updated agreement ensures that Royal Signals soldiers have access to industry leading technical education and qualifications for years to come, helping them continue to maintain their position at the cutting edge of global communications.

Andrew Stevens said: “We are honoured that the Royal Corps of Signals has expanded its commitment to CNet Training as an official technical education provider for their installation technicians. We are proud of our longstanding relationship with the Royal Signals and are delighted to increase the range of programs we deliver for them, guaranteeing that the highest quality technical education is made available to the soldiers who are at the forefront of communications and responsible for supplying vital information systems to the Army throughout the world.”
