City & Guilds is a household name – in fact, according to recent consumer surveys, one in five households has a City & Guilds qualification. We were established in 1878 to encourage education and training in, and for, the workplace. We have built close links with industry, government and training organisations to identify the skills needed to support the UK economy.
