After many years of careful consideration City & Guilds has made the decision to no longer offer the majority of qualifications in the Sports and Recreation sector. We understand that this will come as a surprise for many of our centres and therefore have planned an exit strategy that we think will be supportive and beneficial to our centres and their learners. Please read the transition letter and FAQs to help you understand which qualifications are impacted and how and when you can transition to YMCA.
City & Guilds is working with to ensure that learners and centres are not disadvantaged by these exit plans and that centres feel supported to make a smooth transition.
YMCA Awards is delighted to be working with City & Guilds customers, helping them to make a smooth transition.
