The City and Guilds has been founded in 1878, which the main purpose was to establish a national system of technical education in the UK. The first exams were held in cotton manufacture, steel manufacture, gas manufacture, wool dyeing, alkaline manufacture, telegraphy and qualitative blowpipe analysis.

But the organization went out on a new level in 9 years. The first international examination was held in New South Wales, Australia. And in 1900 year the City and Guilds were recognized as a part of the constitution and national life of the UK.

The City and guildswas business as usual during the World War II, with only one examination cancelled in six years of conflict. The examinations were held and for prisoners of war in German.

And during several tens of years The City and Guilds leaves one of the leading examination centers of all over the world, which recently has celebrated 130-th anniversary.
