The Defence School of Communications and Information Systems (DSCIS) has its Headquarters in Blandford, Dorset.

RAF Cosford is home to the Defence School of Aeronautical Engineering (DSAE) and elements of the Defence School of Communications and Information Systems (No 1 Radio School). DSAE and DSCIS are two of four Schools that make up the Defence College of Technical Training (DCTT). The DCTT was formed in October 2012 and brings together Defence’s technical training with a mission of delivering flexible, affordable, modern and effective technical training that meets the requirements of the nation's Armed Forces and the needs of their trainees now and into the future.

This National Engineering Day, we're looking ahead to the engineer of 2076.

While future engineers may work with technologies beyond today's imagination, the qualities that make an exceptional Royal Air Force engineer will endure: technical expertise, adaptability, innovation, and a commitment to excellence.

At RAF Cosford, we are proud to train and develop the next generation of engineers, equipping them with the skills, knowledge and mindset required to meet the challenges of tomorrow's Air Force.

The future starts here.

The engineer of 2076 might be maintaining autonomous systems, supporting advanced space capabilities, or harnessing technologies we can only imagine today.

At RAF Cosford, our role is to provide the strong engineering foundations that will make those future capabilities possible. Every day, our instructors and trainees develop the technical knowledge, practical skills and problem-solving mindset that have always defined Royal Air Force engineers.

Whatever the future holds, engineering excellence will remain at the heart of operational success.

Who will be the Royal Air Force engineers in 50 years time?

At RAF Cosford, we're training the next generation of engineers to solve problems that don't yet exist, using technologies that may not have been invented.

While the tools and platforms of the future will evolve, the skills that underpin great engineering remain the same: curiosity, innovation, teamwork, and technical excellence.

This , we're proud to inspire and develop the engineers who will keep the Royal Air Force at the forefront of technology for decades to come.

Did you see tonight's DIY SOS? The show's last ever episode was filmed two years ago but only aired this evening.

Staff and apprentices from No.1 School of Technical Training joined Nick Knowles, the DIY SOS team, and hundreds of volunteers from across the Kidderminster community to build an eight-metre extension. This transformed the home of a local family whose son has complex needs, giving them the space to live together safely.

Wonderful to welcome back members of 123 Apprentice Technician Entry on the 50th anniversary of their graduation from No.2 School of Technical Training at RAF Cosford on 26 October 1976.

Great memories and stories, and a camaraderie that has stood the test of time, and lasted long past their Royal Air Force careers came to an end.
