The training centre is not a sideline. So far in 2026 we have run more than 30 certificated City & Guilds courses at the Preston centre and put over 50 candidates through them, our own staff among them. Qualification records are held in our own system with automatic expiry alerts, so a lapsed ticket gets caught before it reaches your site.
For public-sector buyers this is countable social value: local employment and formal City & Guilds qualifications delivered in Preston, with the numbers to evidence it in a bid.
