City & Guilds Awards
At City & Guilds we believe in the importance of recognising success and inspiring individuals to discover their potential. Each year we celebrate the success of learners, trainers and employers that we work with through our awards programme:
Medals for Excellence and Lion Awards
For over 100 years, our annual City & Guilds Medals for Excellence programme has recognised the impressive achievements of our learners and tutors. Each year, we award around 200 medals to the most outstanding across the world. The highlight of the programme is the Lion Awards ceremony held once a year in London. Here, a small number of prestigious awards are presented to the most exceptional learners, trainers and employers.
