City & Guilds has been delivering qualifications since 1876 and has created a brand that is trusted and recognised.

Our relationship with APHC

APHC and City & Guilds have been working together for the last year. Our relationship ensures that our qualifications are relevant, up-to-date and completely fit for purpose. Working with APHC, we introduced an online assessment for the Certificate in Plumbing Services. Rather than sit a series of paper-based test, learners now take their knowledge assessments online under supervision.

How do we develop our qualifications?

Qualifications are developed in line with skills requirements identified from the Summit Skills, the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for Building Services and Engineering. As new qualifications are produced and approved we are working at getting them migrated onto the QCF. In September 2010 we will be launching a new range of plumbing qualifications, find out more below.

How can we help you?

If you are a plumbing company and want you staff skilled then contact your nearest City & Guilds office and they will advise you on suitable qualifications and the appropriate study options.

If you are an individual learner wanting more information on our plumbing qualifications then contact our Customer Relations team.

If you are a college and thinking of running our plumbing qualifications then speak to our regional office and they will support and advise you on how to set this up.
