City & Guilds is the preferred brand and route for skills. We have been fulfilling our charitable purpose since 1878, by advancing skills for people, organisations, and societies.
With 3.5 million learners worldwide, we understand the life-changing link between skills development, social mobility, prosperity, and success. We champion vocational and technical training routes and collaborate with industries and government to campaign for improvements across the global skills landscape.
We work with over 2500 employers to deliver high-quality skills training and credentials, both in person and online, that meet the changing needs of industry and skills challenges. We deliver qualifications and awards to thousands of colleges and training providers across the globe, creating end-to-end solutions and improving learner skills and productivity. City & Guilds courses have contributed £11.2bn to society in the UK alone.
Through our City & Guilds Foundation we amplify our purpose by focusing on high-impact social investment, recognition, and advocacy programs which remove barriers to getting a job, celebrate best practice on the job, and advocate for jobs of the future. We have a proven track record of supporting skills development and creating over £10m of social value in communities that experience disadvantage.
The City & Guilds community of brands includes Gen2, ILM, Intertrain, Trade Skills 4U, Kineo, and The Oxford Group.
