The Medals for Excellence programme recognises and rewards exceptional people whose work makes them really stand out.

If you know of a learner whose dedication and talent enables them to produce work of an exceptional standard, or a lecturer or trainer who goes beyond the call of duty in motivating and inspiring their class, then we really would like to hear from you!

Winners receive:

• an invitation to a local awards ceremony where they can celebrate with friends and family
• an invitation to the Medals for Excellence Dinner where they will be in the running for one of eight prestigious Lion Awards
• the opportunity to win one of many additional prizes awarded by supporters of City & Guilds
• an engraved golden medal and a certificate. Winners' centres also receive a certificate
• great PR opportunities for their centre

‘I am just so lost for words, it is a great honour to win such a coveted award! It will take pride of place and I will never forget this!’ – Medals for Excellence winner, 2007-08
