The Court of The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths, on the advice of the Craft Committee, awards a range of Certificates, Diplomas and Medals. These recognise various degrees of ability and quality of workmanship achievable by training and experience of Blacksmiths working as individuals and when working as a team. The awards range from a Certificate of Competence and a Journeyman's Certificate for apprentices starting out on their careers to a Gold Medal for consistent work of very high quality in prestigious commissions given to blacksmiths who have had long experience in the craft.

The possession of a Medal from The Worshipful Company automatically enables the holder to receive preferential rates for membership of The Worshipful Company of Blacksmiths. This includes Freedom of the Company, Freedom of the City of London and Admission to the Company as a Liveryman.

Proposal forms for all the Awards and Certificates of the Company can be obtained from the clerk:

When completed a form should be returned to him together with any relevant documents such as photographs.

Applicants do not have to be connected with the Worshipful Company nor will an award commit them to the Company in any way, except to maintain the standard of work at the level of their Award.
