There are, however, certain age restrictions which are detailed further down this page. Once visitor registration is live, you will be able to access this via the Home page of this website.
We also have an organised Education and Development visitor programme, with companies hosting school and college visits. At MACH 2018 we hosted over 3,000 students on this programme! Places are limited so register your interest early by emailing MACH@mta.org.uk
