SFEDI Centre of Excellence
SFEDI Accreditation
Southend Enterprise Accreditation (SEACC) has been appointed by SFEDI as a Centre of Excellence at Regional and National level. We will be a focal point for all SFEDI UK activity in the Eastern Region.
SEACC facilitates services to Regional Development Agencies, Universities, Business Schools and Government funded regeneration programmes, as well as individual Business Advisers or Mentors who seek a professional SFEDI accreditation programme to assess and verify their skills and become a SFEDI Assessed Adviser. The service provides the full spectrum of SFEDI enterprise and business support programmes and products:
- Business Adviser Programme for experienced Advisers
- Business Mentoring Programmes for experienced Business Mentors, Team Leaders and Voluntary Assistants
- Social Enterprise Adviser and Team Leader qualifications
- Preparing for Enterprise Level 2 qualification
All are supplied complete with both Assessor and Candidate portfolio guidance packs, or on a CD-ROM.
Our Business Start-up CD-ROM is also available in two further versions:
- An audio version for the visually impaired, or candidates with English as a second language.
- A British Sign Language (BSL) version for the hearing impaired
Our Programmes and CD-ROMs are endorsed by SFEDI and were developed with support from the East of England Development Agency.

SEACC will also act as a signpost for business support or other enterprise inquiries. We will help schools, colleges, universities, local authorities and business support organisations to support initiatives that will assist the enterprise ethos to be widely cascaded.
