City & Guilds Accreditation

Enhancing skills, empowering careers, strengthening organisations. Rpd has partnered with city & guilds, a globally recognised awarding body, to offer a comprehensive suite of accredited training and qualifications tailored for the rail industry. These programmes are designed to support both individual career progression and organisational excellence in safety-critical and management roles.

Why City & Guilds Accreditation Matters

Historically, the rail industry has relied on training that often lacked relevance or formal recognition. In response to increasing regulatory expectations – especially from the ORR – RPD has developed a targeted approach that offers fit-for-purpose, cost-effective accreditations & qualifications aligned with operational realities.

Our City & Guilds programmes provide:

• Formal recognition of skills and competencies
• Improved career prospects for learners
• Enhanced credibility and compliance for employers
• Consistent standards across operational and safety-critical roles

Flexible Accreditation Options

Whether you’re enrolling in new training or have completed recent RPD courses, there are flexible options to achieve formal City & Guilds accreditation:

Add-on accreditation: Available as a supplement to any existing RPD training programme.

Post-training accreditation: If you’ve completed training recently, you may qualify for accreditation based on workplace evidence and knowledge assessments – no retraining required.
