About the Board

GBTPE promotes excellence in technical and professional education — accrediting institutes, assessing competence, and certifying the skills that employers rely on.

Who we are

Global Board of Technical & Professional Education (GBTPE) is an organisation dedicated to promoting excellence in technical and professional education. We work to empower individuals, meet evolving industry demands, and contribute to sustainable economic growth through high-quality education, skills development and professional training.

GBTPE accredits technical and professional education programmes to ensure they meet recognised standards of quality, relevance and excellence. We also certify individuals and institutions, validating their expertise, competence and commitment to professional excellence.

GBTPE collaborates with colleges, vocational training institutes, professional organisations and industry partners to strengthen technical and professional education systems, and works with regulatory authorities on qualification frameworks and workforce development initiatives that support employability and lifelong learning.
