Candidates can showcase their understanding of select GCHQ Certified Training courses with new digital badges

New digital badges launched for APMG examinations, based on GCHQ Certified Training (GCT) courses

Many of our Training Providers who deliver GCHQ Certified Training courses, have approached us to develop and offer APMG exams tailored to their courses. Designed to test a candidate’s knowledge and comprehension of the course, those that are successful can now claim a digital badge, in addition to their downloadable certificate. By claiming their digital badge, candidates prove they have studied a GCT course and passed the related APMG exam.

Candidates who share their badge online, can showcase their certified skills to the online community. APMG’s COO, Nick Houlton says, "Our badges are secure, digital representations of a person’s credentials. Through a single click, employers can verify a certification and understand the qualification, as well as an element of the process required to earn it. The badge can easily be embedded on a CV or email signature and shared on social networking sites, including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.”

GCHQ appointed APMG to create a process for certifying cyber security related courses. Working in partnership with the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC, a part of GCHQ), strict criteria are adhered to, to assess an organisation for its quality management system, quality of training materials and content and the quality of training that takes place.  By choosing a GCT course, a candidate can be confident that they will receive high quality training and training materials when they study their course.

You can even start learning for free! The Open University, through FutureLearn, offer the free, online Introduction to Cyber Security course – at the end of which you can purchase an APMG exam to demonstrate your knowledge of the course. Successful candidates can claim a digital badge to share their success online.  Browse our extensive list of training providers and GCHQ Certified Training courses HERE
