Confirming your qualification
As well as providing you with a new certificate, we can also confirm (on request), any City & Guilds qualification you may have received. This service is often required when you have a new job offer. We do this by searching our archives for the relevant information, and on our company headed paper, we will write to the relevant person, confirming the qualification you received, and the date it was awarded.
What is my qualification equivalent to?
If you are currently studying for a City & Guilds qualification, or you have recently completed one, then our qualifications comparison webpage should help you understand what your City & Guilds qualification is comparable to in terms of academic qualifications.
However, if it has been a while since you were awarded your City & Guilds qualification and you need to know what it would be comparable to today, then complete the on-line form, selecting comparison request and we'll send you a letter confirming what the mapping would be against the National Qualifications Framework (if possible).
