‘One of a kind’ Medals for Excellence presentation!

In a special presentation held on 16th May 2017, outstanding NLTG learners were awarded prestigious City & Guilds ‘Medals for Excellence’.

A ‘Medal for Excellence’ recognises the achievements of learners, lecturers and trainers from across the world.  It acknowledges those who have achieved outstanding results by producing exceptional work – going above and beyond what is expected to accomplish their goals – and those who have shown a true journey of progression throughout their studies.  This year City & Guilds awarded 86 medals worldwide; 5 of which were awarded to NLTG learners.

Mandy Smith, Director of Sales & Customer Service at City & Guilds, said, “NLTG’s Award Ceremony is one of my favourite days of the year and is unique, as no other provider holds a special awards ceremony for their winners. Winning such a prestigious award is an outstanding achievement, and shows the motivation and exceptional accomplishments of NLTG learners.”
