Start-up & Entrepreneurship

Being able to identify and develop ideas into successful business opportunities requires a wide-ranging skill set. If you would like to run your own business, our short qualifications are here to help you along the way.
Qualifications within the RQF must be leveled against the RQF level descriptors to ensure they are broadly similar in the knowledge and depth of understanding required to pass them. The size and the content of qualifications at the same level can vary. The diagram below shows how the levels progress.
Pathways
After completing Level 2 qualification you can progress onto higher level qualifications in business management. The framework of business management qualifications runs from Level 3, right through to UH, enabling you to accumulate the credits needed for a university top-up, or you can enter the framework at any point depending on your center’s professional and academic judgment– see our ‘Entry guidance’ section for more
details.
