City & Guilds

Since 1878 City & Guilds have worked with people, organisations and economies to help them identify and develop the skills they need to thrive. They understand the life changing link between skills development, social mobility, prosperity and success. Everything they do is focused on developing and delivering high-quality training, qualifications, assessments and credentials that lead to jobs and meet the changing needs of industry.

City & Guilds is a leader in global skills development and work with governments, organisations and industry stakeholders to help shape future skills needs across industries. They are known for setting industry-wide standards for technical, behavioural and commercial skills to improve performance and productivity. They train teams, assure learning, assess cohorts and certify with digital credentials. Their solutions help to build skilled and compliant workforces.

They create flexible learning pathways that support lifelong employability, because they believe that people deserve the opportunity to (re)train and (re)learn again and again – gaining new skills at every stage of life, regardless of where they start.

City & Guilds is a Royal Chartered Institute and a registered charity which invest their surplus into expanding and enhancing their solutions across all of their brands, to meet the changing needs of organisations and industries.

And through their City & Guilds Foundation they amplify their purpose by focusing on high impact social investment, recognition and advocacy programmes which remove barriers to getting a job, celebrate best practice on the job and advocate for jobs of the future.

Through  industry relationships and independent research City & Guilds are able to anticipate future skills needs that help to define occupational standards and best in class qualifications and training programmes. These are delivered in their own training centres, through education centre partners, such as Jarrold Training, and in organisational work-places. They are quality assured and assessed by City & Guilds and our awarding organisation partners.

City & Guilds are renowned for their vocational and technical programmes of learning and apprenticeships, including qualifications, assessment, certification with digital credentials, leadership and management and recognition services.
