City & Guilds sells its awarding and skills training businesses
The City & Guilds of London Institute has agreed to sell its awarding organisation and skills training businesses to PeopleCert, a global player in the certification of professional and language skills.
The businesses moving to PeopleCert include the City & Guilds awarding organisation - which will continue trading under that name – City & Guilds Training, Gen2, Intertrain, ILM and Oxford Group.
The remainder of the group, rebranded as The City & Guilds Foundation, will focus on ‘addressing societal and skills needs of the 21st century’. It will continue to award CGLI Fellowships and operate the Princess Royal Awards.
The sale to PeopleCert is expected to result in greater investment by them to grow the businesses.
