GCTSC accredits technology training providers. We review a provider curriculum, instructors and assessment methods against a published standard, then license accredited providers to place the GCTSC seal on the certificates they issue.

Does GCTSC certify individual learners?

No. GCTSC accredits providers and their programs. Individual learners are certified by the training provider itself.

How long does accreditation take?

Eligibility is confirmed in one to two weeks and the standards review takes two to four weeks. Most providers receive a decision within four to six weeks of a complete submission.

What does accreditation cost?

Program Accredited is a $1,200 review fee then $400 per year. Provider Partner is $3,500 per year for up to five programs. Elite Partner is $8,500 per year for up to fifteen programs.

The mark accredited providers carry

The Global Council for Technology Standards & Certification (GCTSC) is an independent accreditation body for technology training providers.

Real review, not a rubber stamp.

Our panel evaluates your curriculum and, critically, how you assess whether learners actually mastered the material. Fees cover the cost of review. They don’t buy a pass.

You keep training. You keep certifying.

GCTSC never touches your learners. You deliver the training, you run the assessment, you issue the certificate. We accredit the process behind it, and license you to co-brand the result.

A seal employers recognize.

Every accredited provider and program is listed in our public directory. Anyone can verify accreditation status before trusting a certificate.
