A personal view of City and Guilds

Abstract

The City and Guilds of London Institute was founded after a hearty gathering at the Mansion House on 3 July, 1876. Three years later it held its first examinations, and the institution which its present officers are pleased to regard as the ‘chosen instrument’ for the advancement of technical education was under way. Initially they ran with 202 candidates taking seven subjects in 28 centres; currently they claim a total of some 250 000 taking 250 subjects at over 1200 local centres.
