City and Guilds

Enabling people and organisations to develop their skills for personal and economic growth

We are a global leader in skills development, providing services to training providers, employers, and trainees across a variety of sectors to meet the needs of today's workplace. Everything we do contributes to achieving our purpose: helping people, organisations and economies develop their skills for growth. This purpose drives everything we do.

We develop programmes of learning, learning technology, certification and assessment, to support colleges, training providers and governments. Our qualifications, support services and flexible learning options enable people to unlock their potential and progress in their careers. We want to inspire people to believe they can.

We have over 500 qualifications that have been developed in conjunction with key organisations in 28 industries. That's why we are recognised by employers worldwide. Our qualifications are suitable to be delivered by schools, private training providers, tertiary institutions and employers. They are available at all levels, from entry level to the equivalent of a postgraduate degree, and offer clear pathways for learners to achieve success.

City & Guilds also offer Assured recognition services. Assured is a joint service between City & Guilds and ILM which recognises excellence in your in-house training programmes. It is a valuable business improvement tool, ensuring that you have the confidence and reassurance that your training meets best practice standards.

Supported by Digitalme, Assured provides your learners with a co-branded digital credential, enabling you to track engagement and showcase your quality skills development externally via the web.It adds value to any type of training no matter the content, format or length. We recognise both face-to-face and e-learning, assessed or non-assessed training - and training in local languages.
