Custom Certification Service

Customised certification that gives your learners an industry-recognised badge

Regulated qualifications might not always meet your needs

When you know that a regulated qualification isn’t going to meet your business’ – or learner’s – needs, you still want a recognised certification at the end of the course.

“We’re very happy to be supported by Candace Miller and the team at SFJ Awards through the provision of Certificates of Attendance for the first of our virtual events.

“Not only does it add value for attendees to have a nationally recognised awarding organisation provide certificates but also gives us the opportunity to form a new partnership with another not-for-profit organisation. It’s fantastic to collaborate with them at what is the beginning of our journey providing online events.”
