The Business, Administration and Finance Diploma Development Partnership is made up of The Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC), the Council for Administration (CfA) and SkillSmart Retail.

Led by the FSSC, this partnership has been brought together to design the Business, Administration and Finance Diploma. We have representation from employers, higher education, schools, colleges, professional bodies and awarding bodies and we draw on this expertise to make sure that the Diploma meets the needs of all stakeholders. The partnership has also consulted widely, so that all those with an interest have the chance to have a say in the development.

Today’s business world is exciting, dynamic and challenging, and is likely to become more so in the future. The business environment offers a huge range of exciting career opportunities for young people who have an interest in working in business, or in setting up and running their own business. Our vision for the Business Administration and Finance Diploma is to offer young people the chance to develop the skills, knowledge and attributes that they will need to succeed in business, or to progress to Further or Higher Education.
