Delivering a City & Guilds apprenticeship 

Apprenticeships are a great way to train a new generation of professionals with on-the-job training. Our apprenticeship standards set out the knowledge, skills, and behaviours (KSBs) required in the industry, with an end-point assessment to check the apprentice has achieved measurable competencies. 

We help support our providers through each stage of the apprenticeship journey, providing solutions from onboarding to the delivery of the end-point assessment. With access to a wealth of resources and personalised support, you’ll be able to plan and succeed every step of the way. 

Apprenticeship standards

Our extensive range of apprenticeship standards are designed and backed by industry-led employers. All standards are supported with digital learning resources, checklists, and step-by-step guidance to help support apprentices, employers, and providers.
