Cambridge

All Cambridge Academy of Transport courses in Cambridge are held on a residential basis and are typically of either one or two weeks duration. Included as part of the Cambridge-based programmes are a number of visits to Cambridge sites, many of which are associated with the University of Cambridge such as King's College. The University has spawned over 70 Nobel Laureates and after 800 years remains one of the World's top educational centres.

Since 1978 Cambridge has been the setting for many of the residential courses which we offer. Over the years, one of the highlights of a stay in Cambridge has been the tour of the world-famous colleges of the University of Cambridge, conducted by Len Lewis, a renowned expert on the city. Len sadly died in 2014 but his successors are continuing in the tradition of providing insight to the City and the University of Cambridge, offering a unique perspective on over 800 years of educational excellence.
