City & Guilds is the UK's leading vocational qualification awarding body. City & Guilds offer International Vocational Qualifications (IVQs) that are designed specifically for the international marketplace. There are two types: Craft and Technician, and they are available at three levels: Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma. City & Guilds also offer General Vocational Qualifications (GVQs). These awards were developed for the UK market but can be appropriate for overseas customers too. To find out more about the types of City & Guilds qualifications available, and for additional resources for students, teachers, employers and governments, please visit the City & Guilds website.
