What is the TechFirst Schools/ Colleges Scheme?

TechFirst is formally recognising schools and colleges across every region and home nation of the UK who are committed to providing a structured approach to excellence in technology and computing education, with successful applicants able to achieve a Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.

​

TechFirst has appointed a Regional Delivery Partner in each area, who will manage the assessment and evaluation of TechFirst School applications, the growth of the TechFirst Schools community in the area, and help facilitate engagement between industry and schools in the region through events and tech-related activities.
