City and Guilds

Certiport have worked with City & Guilds to incorporate many certifications into QCA approved, LSC funded qualifications.

Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS) certification is part of the City & Guilds e-Quals 07 Level 2 and Level 3 IT User qualifications, giving learners the chance to add both e-Quals 07 and Microsoft qualifications to their CVs.

When the learner passes the MOS test, City & Guilds will accept this as proof of their skills in that area, which means they won't have to repeat the work all over again through the e-Quals 07 tests.

We are currently working with City & Guilds to have the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (MCAS) exams for Office 2007 and Windows Vista incorporated as soon as possible.

Adobe Certified Associate (ACA)

City & Guilds were the first UK examination body to map the Adobe Certified Associate certifications into a larger funded qualification. Adobe units have been included in the Level 3 IT User qualifications. You can now use the Adobe tests for:

Designing and creating websites using Macromedia Dreamweaver
Designing and creating websites using Macromedia Flash
Visual communication using Adobe Photoshop

IC³

Learners can follow Certiport's IC³ course as part of City & Guilds Level 1 e-Quals 07 programme for IT Users. When the learner passes the IC³ test, City & Guilds will accept this as proof of their skills in that area.
