A Gold Shield programme is a set of courses that belong together. Complete every one and the shield is awarded automatically: a tier-branded, two page certificate with a QR code anyone can check, and a ledger of every pass behind it. Some programmes unlock a bonus course free.
The all-sector programmes stack: each tier builds on the last, from the essential induction every UK worker needs to the complete portfolio. Counts are live from the platform.
Open a programme to see every course inside it. Signed-in learners see their live progress on the dashboard; company members can assign a whole programme to their team from the company dashboard.
Each course ends with an exam. Pass it and the certificate is recorded against your account, and against your employer's training matrix if you were assigned.
Your dashboard shows a live progress ring for every programme and the exact courses left. When the last one lands, the shield unlocks, along with any bonus course attached.
Page one carries the tier-branded shield and a QR code; page two lists every certificate earned. Anyone can verify it in seconds on the Resources page.
