Accredited Qualifications For The Social Enterprise Sector

The world of social enterprise and social impact support can be confusing. There is no shortage of programmes, toolkits and advice, yet it can be hard to know what is credible, what is high quality, and what will genuinely help someone build something sustainable.

We created our qualifications to provide a clear, trusted quality standard.

The Junction Point CIC qualification pathway is designed to equip changemakers with the confidence, skills and tools needed to turn purpose into sustainable action. Whether someone is just beginning their journey, laying solid foundations for a social enterprise, or supporting others professionally, each level offers a clear, practical route forward.

Our qualifications bring together lived experience from the social enterprise sector, practitioner-led tools, and at Levels 2 and 5 academic insight developed in collaboration with Durham University, whose business school is consistently ranked among the top 1% globally. This partnership ensures our higher-level qualifications combine real-world relevance with academic rigour, without losing accessibility or purpose.

Raising the bar for social impact support

These qualifications exist to raise the bar. They help learners, funders and partners know what good looks like and give changemakers confidence that the time they invest in learning is grounded in quality, not noise.

From here, you can explore each qualification in more detail and find the level that best fits your journey.
