City & Guilds is proud to announce the first recipients of the Membership Awards, a programme designed to celebrate and recognise exceptional tutors and trainers who are making a significant impact on individuals and organisations.
City & Guilds is committed to helping people get into jobs, progress in their careers, and move on to new opportunities. These awards highlight the vital role of tutors and trainers in achieving this goal. By recognising and rewarding outstanding individuals, we aim to inspire and motivate others to strive for excellence.
Nominations opened in May 2024 and shortlisted nominees were invited to an interview with an independent assessor and a City & Guilds ambassador. Nominees had to demonstrate that that they possessed a high level of professional expertise and influence; have delivered impactful skills development programmes; and have gone above and beyond their role to positively influence learners, staff, and the organisation
Recipients of the Membership Awards will receive membership of the City & Guilds of London Institute and the usage of MCGI after their name. We will also celebrate them and their nominators at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.
