Welcome back! Reaching the halfway mark is a significant milestone. You have built your foundation,and as we move into Year 3 of your 4-year qualification, the focus now shifts to advanced technical
precision and complex fabrication.I have some exciting updates regarding the value of your training as we begin this new chapter.
1. The Course is Now Accredited
We are pleased to announce that the Goldsmith curriculum is now officially accredited. This means the 4-year qualification you are working toward carries formal recognition. This is a massive value add to your future portfolio, ensuring your skills are backed by industry-standard verification when you
graduate next year.
