About City & Guilds
The City and Guilds of London Institute is a renowned educational organisation
in the United Kingdom. Established on 11 November 1878 by the City of London
and 16 livery companies, it was created to develop a national system of technical
education. Since 1900, the institute has been operating under a royal charter
granted by Queen Victoria, with the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, as
its first president.
The institute is also a registered charity and serves as the awarding body for
City & Guilds and ILM qualifications. It offers numerous accredited
qualifications mapped onto the Regulated Qualifications Framework
The organization operates under a royal charter and enjoys royal patronage. Since June 2011, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, has served as the President of City & Guilds, following her father, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, who held the position for nearly 60 years.
City & Guilds is composed of several businesses, including ILM,
