Four McDonald’s employees from Co Tipperary awarded City & Guilds qualifications

On November 2nd 2015, four employees from McDonald’s in Co Tipperary were awarded City & Guilds qualifications.

The employees from Co Tipperary were amongst over 260 McDonald’s staff members to receive qualifications at the ceremony which took place at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin. 49 McDonald’s restaurants from across Ireland saw employees receive City & Guilds internationally recognised qualifications in Hospitality Services and Customer Care, which were completed as part of workplace training.

McDonald’s currently has over 1,036 staff members who have had their workplace training certified by City & Guilds, which is equivalent to a level 4 qualification on the National Framework of Qualifications. McDonald’s, which is renowned for its commitment to providing further education and skills development to its crew, has been working in partnership with City & Guilds since 2010 when the programme was launched.
