SFEDI Endorsed Standards
SFEDI is the national standards setting body for the business support sector. Through a nationwide network it accredits and endorses the provision of learning and support to enterprise owners, entrepreneurs and their staff.
emqc has the sole responsibility for managing the assessment and accreditation process for business advisers to SFEDI Standards in the East Midlands. As such, we ensure the high quality and consistency of assessment, accreditation and certification.
