The Society of Business Practitioners (SBP) UK, founded in 1956,[1] is a senior examining UK institution providing vocational qualifications in business, computer studies, management and marketing.[2][3] The Society's Diploma awards attract recognized credits and exemptions from other institutes and educational establishments from the UK, the US and Australia. The Society also has a collaborative credit recognition arrangement with the New Zealand College of Business.[4][5]
All courses are set, moderated and examined at the undergraduate level. The Society's courses are listed in the UK Learning and Skills Council's (now Skills Funding Agency) Learning Aim Database.[6][7]
The Society's highest awards leading to a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration or the Graduate Diploma in Business and Management, are essentially a British professional qualification. However, in academic terms it may be comparable to a bachelor's degree standard.[8] They lead to a professional designation title of Certified Professional Manager - CPM.[9][10]
In line with the constant review and update of syllabus content of courses, specialist courses had been developed. These include individualized training programs via the Continuing Professional Development - CPD units specially tailored for the corporate industries.[11] A three-stage information technology course was introduced in 2005. An advanced diploma in accounting program (ADA) examined at the accounting technician level was launched in 2007.[12]
The Society professional membership structure has been revised, to introduce an examinable, work based senior awards assessment program leading to qualifications pegged at the British NQF, National Qualifications Framework levels 4 through 7.[13]
The Society is a member of the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education ( NIACE), and is registered on the UK Register of Learning Providers.[14][15]
