High quality and trusted expertise across 60+ apprenticeships, and growing

Apprenticeships have the power to shape confident, capable workforces. Defined by Skills England, each apprenticeship standard sets out the knowledge, skills and behaviours (KSBs) required by industry. City & Guilds apprenticeship assessments confirm that apprentices have met that standard’s requirements – giving providers and employers the confidence in outcomes and consistency across cohorts.

We offer more than 60 apprenticeship standards, with new programmes in development across a broad range of sectors.
