How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer Institute of Sales Professionals has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and Institute of Sales Professionals awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from Institute of Sales Professionals.

More on studying for a qualification

01What it is

AWARDING & QUALIFICATIONSSales Qualifications We offer vocational-related qualifications that cover a wide range of sales roles, from entry-level to

These are the units Institute of Sales Professionals 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 Institute of Sales Professionals. It does the teaching and the mapping. Institute of Sales Professionals sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

The credits, and who awards them

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

  • Pitch it Evaluate

    “Coach and Mentor Sales Professionals” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.
