About City & Guilds


As the UK’s leading vocational education organisation, City & Guilds is pioneering a talent revolution by inspiring people to unlock their potential and develop their skills. Working with over 8500 centres and training providers in 81 countries, we offer more than 500 qualifi cations across 28 industries and currently award around 1.9 million certifi cates every year. The City & Guilds Group includes:


the Institute of Leadership & Management (ILM), the UK’s largest management body, combining industry-leading qualifi cations and specialist member services; City & Guilds Land Based Services, the UK’s biggest provider of land-based qualifi cations and licences to practise; and the City & Guilds Centre for Skills Development, working with researchers, practitioners, employers and learners to improve the policy and practice of vocational education and training worldwide. The affairs of City & Guilds are


governed by its Council, members of which may be ex offi cio, appointed by the Corporation of London and certain livery companies, elected or co-opted. A smaller Executive Committee, which meets four times a year, is made up of Council


members, and Executive Committee members are City & Guilds’ charity trustees. City & Guilds’ Director-General is responsible for the executive management of City & Guilds and reports to the Executive Committee and Council. The Director-General works through a Group Board of Directors, who are full-time City & Guilds employees appointed by the Trustees, representing directorates and other members of the City & Guilds Group. City & Guilds is a charity and has


been operating under Royal Charter since 1900. Our surplus is used to develop qualifi cations and resources that are cutting-edge and completely relevant to the ever-changing workplace. We pioneer the most up-to-date delivery and assessment methods, furthering the skills agenda in the UK and worldwide through profi le-raising, sponsorship and the initiation of innovative skills-based projects and ventures. Our vision is to enable people and organisations to develop their skills for personal and economic growth, creating a more profi cient and sustainable economy. By working together, we can become the global benchmark for learner-centred skills development.
