What is City and Guilds???
-
Newbie (to the country, that is) question…
What is City and Guilds? I noodled around their site and couldn’t figure it out. Is it a course? You take online? Or at a college? To get… certifiied?? or something??
Forgive the dumb*ss questions… but their site assumes that you even know what they are all about. I eventually found the photography section and there were too many options to click on (2 vs 3 vs 4 vs hlq vs something else??)
Be kind…

I love Wikipedia for just this type of question – have a look at their page on the City & Guilds of London Institute for an insight into the origins of City & Guilds
Basically it’s a body that provides accredidation to courses. So, many different colleges/universities will provide a course that gives you a City & Guilds accredited qualification. Depending on the college and the course, these range from part time courses to full time ones. Hope this helps.
Getting a City & Guilds Qualification also gives you the designation of LCG after your name.

And as their course/qualifications are also recognised by the RPS, providing you do the correct modules and pass them, you will also be entitled to become a Licentiate of the RPS and may use the letters LRPS after your name to indicate the fact (obviously you have to become a member of the RPS first!)
I think GCP and myself did a City and Guilds course in Quality many moons ago. I never heard about the letters after my name bit though

Well you have them ! . We were told that at the time…..you must be missing that day. Think thats the only bit I still remember from that course though. Thought you also did City & Guilds Electronics with me in whats now GMIT under the guidance of the late great John Crean ????

I still remember a small bit from the City and Guilds Quality course, I never completed the electronic one although I did attend an electronics course delivered by the Late John Crean, that’s the one I don’t remember much of.
