Business Professional Certificate | Why choose this certificate

There are so many standards out there – ISO9001, ISO27001, Investors in People – so why do we need yet another, and why should you put the effort into applying for it? It’s true that there are lots of options out there, and they’re all good. And they’re all complimentary, there’s no reason to choose just one.

But if you look at all the options out there, they tend to be quite specific in the areas they cover – perhaps business processes, or the ‘softer’ human resources angle.

Where Intellect’s Business Professional Certificate (BPC) stands out is that it looks at your business, in a holistic and relevant way – not little bits, but how everything ties together. Add to that the fact that it has been designed for and by successful SMEs who know exactly what works and what doesn’t, and you have the ideal certification scheme.

Whether this is your first certification or one of many, it will be worthwhile. It’s an ideal first effort, because its coverage is so thorough – and you can then use much of the information gathered for later ISO certification, for example, if that’s your ambition.

On the other hand, perhaps you already have a few certifications in place, but you need something tailored to your business activities, and relevant to what you do. Many of the components of existing certifications will automatically pass you for areas of the BPC so duplication is avoided.

And of course, it’s not all about ticking boxes – the process of applying will highlight the relevant aspects of your business and you’ll improve the way you work once you look clearly at what you’re doing.
