MOD St Athan is a large Ministry of Defence site in the Vale of Glamorgan and where the RAF’s non-aircraft, ground engineering technicians are trained. It is home to No 4 School of Technical Training who provide training to personnel from all three Services and MOD civilian staff. It is also home to the University of Wales Air Squadron.

HISTORY; The Station officially opened as RAF St Athan on 1 September 1938 and the first unit to take up residence was No. 4 School of Technical Training. In 1939 the station's activities were expanded with the arrival of a fighter group pool, the School of Air Navigation, and a maintenance unit. During World War Two the station had over 14,000 personnel, and was used for training ground and air crew. It was linked to the aircraft storage and maintenance facility at RAF Llandow. Between May 1947 and August 1973, St Athan was home for the Administrative Apprentice Training School, which provided a 20 month training programme for boys who enlisted to become clerks or work in accounting, supply and administration, prior to posting to other RAF units for a 12 year term of service. MOD Athan was the designated site for the United Kingdom's new defence training academy, but the programme was cancelled in October 2010. The base has been home to the RAF No. 4 School of Technical Training throughout its life, as well as a major aircraft maintenance unit. St Athan has also been used to house British Army units, including the 1st Battalion, Welsh Guards.
