These courses have been written to and assessed against UK National Occupational Standards (NOS) and are recognised in the UK and internationally. GTi and Guild Accredited courses are acceptable to Guild membership and insurance and accepted by all major UK insurance providers.

If you are not currently a member, you will be registered as a GTi Student member for 3 months when you enrol on a practical GTi course. If you have not completed the course within 3 months, you will be required to either renew your GTi Student membership for another 3 months, or upgrade to an annual Guild membership with or without insurance.
