We will build out more in depth certifications and specialisations over time.

We will then take you through an overview of the different components of the Tyk Platform, those being the Tyk Gateway, Tyk Dashboard and Tyk Pump.

We’ll dive into a bit more detail on some features like authorisation, authentication, policies, organisations, users and user groups to give you a wider understanding on the key aspects of the platform.

We will then go a little deeper into analytics, quotas and rate limits before giving a comprehensive overview of our Tyk Developer Portal.
