Competition Organising Partners (COPs) are contracted to deliver the WorldSkills UK National Qualifiers.

If successful, invitations will be made to competitors from our organising partners to participate in a national qualifier. Qualifiers can take place anywhere in the UK or remotely and our organising partners will do their best to allocate competitors appropriately.

The highest scorers from the National Qualifiers will be entered into the WorldSkills UK National Finals.

WorldSkills UK LIVE is the UK’s largest skills, apprenticeship and careers event and the National Finals take place over the 3 days in November each year

The National Finals provide an opportunity for young people to showcase their talents to over 73,000 visitors during the course of WorldSkills UK LIVE, in a fast paced, exciting environment. Test projects for the finals are designed by the COPs along with industry partners to ensure they reflect the standards that employers are looking for.
