Using the City & Guilds logo

Using the City & Guilds Approved Centre logo boosts your profile and we would encourage active approved centres to seek permission to use it, for example on stationery, promotional material, prospectuses, signage and exhibition stands as well as in press adverts in order to promote courses leading to City & Guilds qualifications. There are certain rules and conditions attached to its use. In order to get permission to use the City & Guilds Approved Centre logo, please contact your territory office. A centre shall not use any other form of our logo without our prior written consent.


I have registered a candidate for the wrong qualification. How do I transfer to the correct qualification?

Register the candidates onto the correct route. Then e-mail centresupport@cityandguilds.com with the candidate's enrolment number, order number, qualification number and a reason as to why they were registered incorrectly. If your request is made within a month of the registration, we will be happy to cancel the incorrect registrations and credit your centre with a refund. If you have re-registered the candidates onto another route of the same qualification within a six month period of the original registrations, we will be happy to cancel the incorrect registrations and arrange for a credit note to be issued.
