We were one the first colleges in the UK to establish its own awarding organisation. Accredited Skills for Industry (asfi) was created in close partnership with employers, focusing on supporting businesses to develop and accredit training programmes to meet their specific needs. It has been instrumental in addressing skills gaps in newly emerging employment sectors, including Advanced Engineering, Environmental Technologies and Information Technology.
我们也是英国第一批拥有自己授予认可证书的机构之一。学院被承认的技能项目在相关的工业里面得到了紧密合作的雇主机构的承认和支持。我们的认证项目致力于支持商业运行当中发展和认证有关的培训课程来符合有关机构以及雇主的特殊技能要求。这样的培训在新兴的雇佣领域，比如高级工程，环境科技和信息科技等起到了缩小雇主对于技能的要求和受雇者实际技能差距的作用。
