City & Guilds update on Specialist Vocational Training (SVT) Limited

SVT Limited Closure – Guidance for City & Guilds Learners.

24 September 2025

City & Guilds is aware that a training provider offering City & Guilds qualifications, SVT Limited, has ceased operating. 

We appreciate this will be unsettling for individuals enrolled on courses with this provider, as they will be concerned about their learning journey.

How to contact City & Guilds

Learners registered for a City & Guilds or ILM qualification

We are asking individuals who believe they are registered and actively progressing on a City & Guilds qualification with SVT Limited to submit this form. This will enable us to contact you directly, as we establish more information about the provider’s situation in the coming days.

Once you have completed the form, if you are enrolled on a City & Guilds qualification, our Learner Support or Centre Quality Team will be in touch to discuss the next steps and support available.

We recommend that impacted learners save their e-portfolio or learning records. If you have online access to your portfolio or learning records, we recommend ensuring that you have offline access, via download or printing a hard copy.

Learners registered with Awarding Organisations other than City & Guilds

If you are registered for a qualification with an awarding organisation other than City & Guilds or ILM, please contact your awarding organisation directly for support and guidance.

If your portfolio is hosted on the Learning Assistant platform and you need access, please complete this form.
