Whether you're evaluating us as a new awarding organisation or expanding your existing provision, this page explains what we provide and what partnering with us looks like: the qualifications and services we offer, the support you'll get, and how to take the next step.
With the widest range of apprenticeship standards in England, we support our providers at every stage of the journey – from onboarding and planning, through teaching, gateway preparation, and assessment.
Over 1,400 vocational qualifications for colleges and private training providers, from entry level to level 7. Includes reformed qualifications, T Levels, Technical Qualifications, Skills for Work and Life, and Green Skills.
Our suite of digital platforms supports everything from day-to-day admin and online assessment to interactive e-learning and remote invigilation. Walled Garden, e-volve, SmartScreen and Proficient are all designed to reduce the operational burden on your team.
Our technical advisors deliver a growing range of CPD sessions for tutors, assessors and internal quality assurers. Available online, in-person and as bespoke centre training. Delegates receive a City & Guilds digital credential on completion.
If you develop your own training programmes, getting them externally validated through City & Guilds Assured demonstrates to employers and learners that your training meets our rigorous quality standard.
Our qualifications and apprenticeships span 10 sectors from construction to care, with qualifications and apprenticeships starting at entry level through to level 4 and above. This gives your centre the breadth to support a wide range of learners.
