Why City & Guilds?
Why City & Guilds?
City & Guilds is the UK’s leading vocational awarding body and the biggest organisation of its kind in the world. We have been working with individuals, colleges, training providers and businesses for over 125 years and our knowledge and experience of education and skills is unequalled anywhere.
Our dedicated team of City & Guilds for Business consultants specialise in providing unique solutions to the specific training needs of individual businesses and companies. They combine in-depth knowledge of sectors and markets with an understanding that each business will require its own tailored approach to education and skills development. City & Guilds for Business is therefore able to offer varied and responsive training packages, developed collaboratively with employers, and all stamped with the hallmark of City & Guilds quality.
We have helped many leading UK businesses to realise the talents of their employees and discover the very best of their workforce.
We worked with Tesco, the largest supermarket chain in the UK, to develop a retail apprenticeship scheme that provides employees with skills, develops their confidence and enables them to progress their careers at a senior level within the company.
City & Guilds for Business has also collaborated with the Public Carriage Office to provide City & Guilds accreditation for 'The Knowledge' – the A to Z of street names and locations required by all London taxi drivers. This joint initiative demonstrates that leading businesses with a recognised history of training can still benefit from the City & Guilds badge of quality.
