Built upon more than 60 years of operational experience, the academy offers a broad catalogue of training services, covering all key disciplines within the space sector.
The Serco’s Space Academy provides technical training across a wide range of subjects including Earth observation, satellite navigation, satellite communications, ground segment operations, spacecraft operations, and space engineering management, as well as training in space business disciplines such as the new space economy and innovation.
The academy's programmes are delivered by a team of global space experts, each with decades of experience. Training is offered at Serco’s advanced European facilities, located in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK, just a few metres away from key European Space Agency operation centres. The academy is open to participants from around the world, and Serco has already welcomed its first successful graduate from the Middle East, who completed the programme in August 2024.
Commenting on the launch, Roberto Mulatti, Serco’s Space Managing Director for Europe, said: "At Serco, we are committed to shaping the future of the space industry by developing the next generation of space professionals. With the launch of the Serco’s Space Academy, we are creating a world-class training hub that draws on our expertise and operational history in the space sector."
The programme will be open to a range of profiles, from advanced university students to experienced professionals working in the space industry, whether in the public or private sectors. Training can be tailored to suit all levels of expertise, with a blend of hands-on and theoretical approaches, ensuring participants can apply their learning in real-world scenarios.
