Using the City & Guilds logo

Using the City & Guilds Approved Centre logo boosts your centre’s profile. If your centre is approved to deliver a City & Guilds qualification you can use the City & Guilds Approved Centre logo 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. Approved Centres in the UK operate under the Centre Contract General Terms. Clause 7 of the terms grants a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, royalty free licence to use the applicable Approved Centre Logo in the United Kingdom. There are certain rules and conditions attached to its use so read Section 7 Intellectual Property Rights – Trademarks, to understand the terms. A centre shall not use any other form of our logo without our prior written consent. If you have any questions regarding logo use, or would like to be sent a City & Guilds Approved Centre logo contact us via email at logo@cityandguilds.com.

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 customersupport@cityandguilds.com with the candidate's enrolment number, order number, qualification number and the reason why they were registered incorrectly. If your request is made within 30 days of the original registration date, 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 registration, we will be happy to cancel the incorrect registrations and arrange for a credit note to be issued.

I want to cancel a candidate’s registration?

If you need to cancel a candidate’s registration you can do this by e-mailing customersupport@cityandguilds.com with the candidate's enrolment number, order number, qualification number and a reason why you wish to cancel the registration.

You can cancel a candidate registration at any time providing the candidate has not been entered for any units, or any result claimed.

If your request is made within 30 days of the original registration date, we will be happy to cancel the registration and credit your centre with a refund. Cancelations outside this period will not be refunded.

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.

If you are cancelling T Levels candidate’s registration or booking by 31 January of the same Academic Year, your centre will receive a full refund (including late and very late fees). If a cancellation is completed after 31 January, City & Guilds will not provide a refund of any fee, even for cancellations completed within 30 days of the booking.
