City & Guilds annual review of prices
Our aim is always to keep our prices as fair as possible. We review our prices every year as part of the annual review of our products and services. We recognise that training providers and colleges are under financial pressure and price increases are not always easy to take on board. Any price increases we make reflect the cost of delivering the products and services we provide, including qualifications and end-point assessments.
Why carry out an annual review?
- Our annual review ensures we can continue to provide one of the widest sets of sector portfolios with an exceptional range of choice, whether that is for apprenticeships, T Levels or other qualifications. It also enables us to continue to invest in our products and services and evolve skills solutions for the future.
When prices are revised, they are made available from the beginning of August in Walled Garden, our secure administration platform.
What does City & Guilds spend money on?
Every year we significantly invest in improving our existing products and services alongside developing new ones. We reinvest back into a wide range of areas that customers and learners benefit from, including:
- improving and developing our education provision, including fair and rigorous assessments;
- responding to and servicing changes to regulatory requirements;
- delivery of our free customer events and development of our inclusive curriculum.
How City & Guilds is investing for the future
We invest in a broad range of areas, including: the expertise of our people, our technology, delivering on our net zero targets and developing our qualifications, apprenticeships and assessments – including adjusting to the future education landscape as part of England’s post-16 technical qualification reform, and apprenticeship assessment reform that the Department for Education are leading.
Although our services are provided in a competitive and commercial marketplace we have always worked hard to manage our costs, and continue to do so.
