01What it is

These are the units SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards. It does the teaching and the mapping. SFEDI Enterprises Ltd. T/A SFEDI Awards sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

This is your Mind Palace on learn.zavmo.ai. Every skill above comes from this role's own record, not an example borrowed from another job. A node lights up when you evidence it, and what you build stays yours between jobs. That is the part a course cannot do.

This qualification is no longer awarded.

Ofqual lists it as no longer awarded, so it cannot be started today. The last day to be awarded it was 31 March 2025. It is here because people still hold it.
