SFEDI Online Learning
SFEDI have teamed up with The Small Business Company (www.tsbc.co.uk) to create a series of 30 online training modules that matches the 5 SFEDI Enterprising Essentials standards (6 online modules for each SFEDI Standard).

How do they match to the Enterprising Essentials Standard?
Each Enterprise Essential Standard comprises a range of content summarised by ‘What you need to do’ and ‘What you need to know and understand’.
You can download the 5 Enterprising Essentials and how they have been mapped to the 30 online training modules here.

How does your organisation offer these modules to your small business clients?
As a business support organisation you can offer these SFEDI endorsed Enterprise Essentials modules from your own web site. Bundle them any way you like either as a stand-alone offer to your small business customers or blended with your existing physical workshops.
How do we offer the training from our web site?
The Small Business Company will work with you to create a link off your web site, hosting the modules externally. There is no need for you to change anything on your web site as the externally hosted web site supplies the Learning Management System (LMS) and content.
All you have to do is provide a link to this externally hosted web site.
What will this external web site look like?
We will place your logo and corporate branding next to the SFEDI logo and ‘skin’ the training with your corporate colours. In effect you receive an online training platform that looks like an extension of your web site, without having to pay for any LMS development.
Why are these modules better than other online training?
- Clear, comprehensive, well integrated lessons that are engaging and organised by the topics small-business owners want to know about most. The lessons are short, concise, and clearly written to provide the most information in the least amount of time.
- Downloadable tools that small-business owners can begin using immediately to address their business issues and concerns, such as easily modified spreadsheets, rich templates for creating business plans, inventory lists, and guides for creating marketing campaigns. These tools are built right into the lessons, so business owners can start using them immediately.
- Interaction allowing you to customise the outcome where you create your own action plan of ideas from each lesson. You do not just read articles.
- SFEDI Enterprise Essentials Standards which guarantee they are best practice and cover the most relevant content for small business owners looking to start, build or grow their business
Here are two modules you can try for free.
