    Working with APMG has really helped open some doors by assessing our ‘Applied Cyber Security for OT engineers’ training to gain NCSC certified training status. We looked at this pathway in the early stages of the courses development but thought it was a ‘a bridge too far’, however with APMG help, they guided us through this process. Having the course certification has led to an increase in enquiries and ultimately an increase in bookings. We’re now delivering what our customers and the industry has been asking for! We haven’t stopped there, we are now embarking on the next stage to launch an industry recognised certification with APMG which delivers a digital accreditation highlighting the exam is based on an NCSC Assured Training Course.
