What is Tech Industry Gold

"The Tech Industry Gold accreditation process has been of great value to us in ensuring our programme structure and KSB mapping is as robust as it can be. Having digital apprenticeship experts review and accredit our programmes has helped identify gaps and opportunities to align module materials more closely with specific KSBs."
