Notice Title

City & Guilds Awarding Body

Notice Description

Awarding body is used for learner qualifications and we cannot go out to tender to a different Awarding Body as the prices are fixed. The process of moving awarding bodies is very time consuming and we wouldn't be able to give a spend limit to them as the spend depends on how many learners are enrolled on courses which vary from year to year and entered for exams
