Certificated Training Centre Scheme
The Guild of Traditional Upholsterers recognises high-quality upholstery training providers through its Certificated Training Centre scheme. This initiative supports centres committed to preserving traditional upholstery skills while providing structured, professional training.
Training Centre status is open to existing Certificated Members of the Guild. If you hold Certificated Membership, you can apply with the Apply button below once you are signed in. This page does not offer an open application form — if you are not yet a Certificated Member, please view our membership tiers or get in touch first.
Certificated Training Centres benefit from Guild promotion, free student membership, waived membership fees for eligible tutors, access to awards schemes, invitations to Guild events, and ongoing professional support.
To qualify, the Centre Director or Course Leader must be a Certificated Member of the GTU. Tutors must be Certificated or enrolled on the Journeyman Programme. A free fast-track certification route is available for eligible tutors.
For further details, please contact the Guild Membership Secretary.
