The Basis For Our Qualifications

Our qualifications are built on extensive research and we recognise that individuals wanting to go into self employment don’t always have the generic business skills such as sales and marketing, managing finance and business planning. The research also tells us that those who invest time learning about business knowledge and skills have a significantly increased chance of their business succeeding. SFEDI Awards provide accreditation, products and services based on the SFEDI National Occupational Standards for Business Enterprise and Business Support.
