City & Guilds Courses in Mauritius

City & Guilds is a UK-based awarding body that offers internationally recognised vocational qualifications. At Infoclub Ltd, we’ve proudly partnered with City & Guilds for over 27 years, training more than 10,000 students in Mauritius.

City & Guilds courses in IT lead to Awards, Certificates, and Diplomas and cover a wide range of topics such as:

• Office automation

• Web development

• Graphic design

• IT support

• Internet and email usage

These qualifications are designed for IT users at all levels, from beginners to advanced users, whether for personal, academic, or professional use.

City & Guilds qualifications are aligned with the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and are equivalent to:

• Level 1 – Foundation or basic IT skills (entry-level)

• Level 2 – Intermediate level, comparable to GCSEs or O-levels

• Level 3 – Advanced level, comparable to A-levels or a foundation diploma

These levels are also recognised in many countries for both employment and further education

Yes, Australia recognises many City & Guilds qualifications, particularly for skilled migration, further study, or employment. However, specific recognition may depend on:

• The field of study

• The level of the qualification

• Whether it meets Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) standards

For formal assessment, qualifications can be evaluated by Australian education or immigration authorities.

City & Guilds qualifications are recognised in over 80 countries, including:

• UK

This global recognition makes it an excellent choice for students seeking international opportunities or further education abroad.

Not exactly. NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) is a type of qualification, while City & Guilds is an awarding body that delivers NVQs among other types of qualifications.

So in many cases, City & Guilds can award NVQ qualifications, especially in areas like construction, engineering, or IT. However, not all City & Guilds courses are NVQs.

It depends on your career goals:

• City & Guilds offers a wider range of vocational and technical qualifications, including both NVQs and customised certifications.

• NVQs are ideal for people who want assessment based on real-world workplace skills.

• If you’re looking for flexibility, international recognition, and industry-relevant IT training, City & Guilds qualifications from Infoclub are an excellent choice.
