Who we are
Our history
When we set our first exams back in 1878, options included alkaline manufacture, wool dyeing, telegraphy and qualitative blowpipe analysis - vital work-based skills of the day.
Governance and committees
We're a registered charity run by a Trustee Board and supported by a Council of 70 members - presided over by HRH The Princess Royal.
The City & Guilds Group
City & Guilds includes three Group members covering areas as diverse as management, land-based industries and international development.
Our Board of Directors
The City & Guilds Group Board, headed by Director-General Chris Jones, is responsible for overseeing the whole of the City & Guilds Group.
Our offices worldwide
We've got more than 8500 centres in 81 countries all over the world - and an international network of offices to support them.
