For advisers

The recognition your work has been missing

Accountants and solicitors carry letters that prove their standing. Until now, business advisers carried a CV.

The case

Business advising is one of the strangest careers in professional services — real consequence, yet professional security that resets to a CV every time a programme’s funding ends. The Alliance fixes that: a regulated qualification (Ofqual recognition in progress), professional accreditation, and a place on the national register that travels with you, between contracts and employers, for good.

What you get

A regulated qualification (Ofqual recognition in progress)

The Level 5, finance and project management at its core.

Accreditation

Recognition of the craft beyond the syllabus, renewed through CPD.

A place on the register

A unique ID and digital credentials anyone can verify.

Standing that travels

Your professional identity stops resetting when programmes end.

Years in the job? You don’t start from scratch.

Recognition of Prior Learning is a core route in — your track record becomes your evidence, through a portfolio, not a classroom.

For employers: professionalise a whole team at no extra cost

The qualification can be achieved through a levy-funded apprenticeship route, delivered with ALM — the Level 5 embedded in the Level 4 Junior Management Consultant standard. One funded programme, three outcomes: the apprenticeship, the qualification, and accreditation with register entry.

Be recognised for the work you already do
