National contract won to raise the quality of business advice

Ascend, Assessment North East's Leadership and Management Development Centre and a SFEDI Centre of Excellence, has been successful in winning a national contract to assess Construction Skills Sector Business Advisors against SFEDI standards.

Key feedback comments from the Sector Skills Council included the high level of support on offer to those being assessed and the mentoring, as opposed to auditing, role the Assessors play.

  • Do you provide business advice, learning, support or help to organisations?
  • Do you work with pre start up, start ups or existing businesses?

If so, are you able to display the SFEDI kitemark of good practice that demonstrates you meet SFEDI's very stringent standards and principles?

SFEDI accreditation proves to the organisations that you work for and the clients that you help. That you have achieved a nationally recognised standard of excellence in advising businesses.

You may be aware that publicly funded contracts for providing support to small businesses usually specify that advisers, coaches, mentors and information providers must have a certificate to show that they meet the SFEDI Business Support standards.

We can help you achieve SFEDI accreditation that would give you that tick in the box.
