The Real Ideas Organisation (RIO) has developed Social Enterprise Qualification for use in schools, youth groups, training providers and social enterprises across England and abroad.
In order to achieve formal accreditation as a UK qualification, RIO is delighted to be working with SFEDI Awards: The Awarding Organisation for Enterprise.
SFEDI Awards is The Awarding Organisation for Enterprise and Entrepreneurs. Their qualifications are built on extensive research and are designed to enable both those who wish to start and grow their own business and the business support professionals who work with them. They 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. Their research also tells them 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.
RIO’s partnership with SFEDI gives SEQ students free membership to SFEDI’s Learning Institute. The Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs is the UK's first, dedicated learning institute for anyone thinking about, starting or running their own business and those who support them. Taking part in SEQ comes with free studying membership and, upon completion, provide professional recognition at the appropriate level.
SEQ is a UK qualification on the Qualifications Credit Framework at level 2. Find out more Qualification Information.
