The City & Guilds story

Our proud history in India

We have a long and proud history in India, providing our qualifications in country since the early part of the 20th century. In 2003 we established a branch office and during the last 9 years have been operating through a joint venture with Manipal Education – Manipal City & Guilds (MCG).

Since then we have built a network of over 100 City & Guilds approved centres across India & Nepal, with a portfolio of India specific as well as international products that set the global standard.

From April 2019 City & Guilds will no longer operate through a joint venture with Manipal but will continue to provide access to our qualifications through our local office based in Bangalore.
