About VTCT Skills

Founded in 1962, we are a UK government-approved awarding body and registered charity dedicated to advancing education and transforming lives through skills. We partner with governments, ministries, employers, and training centres
to ensure our qualifications are relevant, in demand and equip students with the skills and knowledge required by employers across the world.

Our vocational qualifications are regulated by Ofqual, aligned with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and recognised across the ENIC-NARIC network [the gateway for the recognition of international qualifications] of 56 countries, including the USA, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, and Australia.

Our qualifications improve career opportunities, progression and pay in Saudi Arabia, while also supporting students who aspire to succeed overseas.

Delivering International Partnerships

Collaborating with NPTC Group of Colleges and VTCT Skills internationally offers invaluable opportunities for skills development across diverse industries and professions, including Engineering, Digital and Artificial Intelligence, English, Logistics and Healthcare. NPTC provides comprehensive training and education programmes for students and tutors tailored to meet the evolving demands of the workforce, enabling learners to gain practical knowledge and learning.

VTCT Skills further enhances this by delivering internationally recognised qualifications, which can also be alongside KSA qualifications (“dual pathway”)-, ensuring learners are prepared for global career prospects. Together, we foster a dynamic learning environment that emphasises vocational and technical skills, adaptability, and continuous professional growth, empowering individuals to excel in their chosen fields and respond effectively to the challenges of a competitive world.
