Application for qualification approval
Form CGI/QAP
Edition 3
You should normally submit a separate form for each qualification for which you are seeking approval. If,
however, you wish to offer up to three qualifications from the same subject area that have common resource
requirements, eg catering, a single application form may be used. It should be completed in accordance with
the relevant guidance notes, other appropriate sections of the Centre Guide – Delivering international
qualifications and with reference to relevant specific qualification documentation. If your organization is not
currently approved to offer any qualifications through City & Guilds, this form must be accompanied by the
Application for centre approval (Form CGI/CAP).
If completing this form by hand, please use black ink.
