A New Enterprise Support Faculty is to be launched within the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs SFEDI Awards has been working with the Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE) in response to the demise of the Business Link support network. Until now Business Link advisors have been required to be accredited by SFEDI and maintain their CPD through the SFEDI Directory.

In order for an individual to be listed within this directory they will be required to complete a SFEDI Awards Enterprise Support qualification, for example the Level 5 Certificate in Business Support.

This provides a great opportunity for the SFEDI Awards centre network to offer programmes of CPD development to individuals who are listed and who wish to remain listed within the Institutes new Faculty of Enterprise Support. Although the new Faculty will be going live, the new system will work in tandem with the current re-approval process until January 2012 in order to provide a transition period.
