Business and Enterprise Mentor Qualification

The Business and Enterprise Mentor Qualification from The Mentoring School, a UK training provider, is a Level 3 Qualification in Business and Enterprise Mentoring accredited by Ofqual. It is aimed at professional mentors, business leaders and entrepreneurs who want to mentor business executives and founders as they look for new opportunities for their organizations. The provider cites Federation of Small Businesses research that mentored small businesses are twice as likely to survive five years.

The course trains mentors to guide mentees through self-reflection, identify knowledge gaps and the challenges they create, and help the mentee decide how to address them for business and personal growth. Topics include talent attraction and retention, team identity and cultural resets, peer interaction, adapting to mentee learning styles and mindsets, and building a self-sustaining mentoring culture inside an organization. The provider says the content is suitable for mentoring entrepreneurs and start-ups and operates within a wellbeing-led framework.

Delivery is flexible, on-demand virtual units of 15 minute lessons, with six months of access, and assessment is by a final portfolio of evidence. The listed price is 3,995 pounds, with a payment plan of eight monthly payments of 499.38 pounds.
