What this qualification is
The Level 2 Certificate in Sales - 6 months is awarded by an Ofqual-regulated UK awarding organisation and regulated by Ofqual at RQF Level 2. The qualification totals 30 credits across structured mandatory units. Listed on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. LEAP Education delivers this programme 100% online with tutor support.
Standard completion is 6 months; accelerated completion in available on selected programmes is offered on this programme where shown below. Fees from £1,250. Assessment is through coursework and assignments — there is no requirement to attend a UK campus.
Designed for working professionals in the UK and overseas who need a regulated qualification recognised by employers. Progress to the next RQF level or a university top-up degree where eligible.
Most sales training assumes you already know how to build a pipeline, leaving early-career professionals struggling to move beyond cold calling and basic order taking. This six-month certificate installs the foundational mechanics of modern B2B selling, transforming raw communication skills into a repeatable revenue engine. You stop guessing at next steps and start executing a defined process that converts interest into signed contracts.
You gain the ability to map complex buyer journeys, qualify leads with surgical precision, and articulate value propositions that withstand procurement scrutiny. This qualification enables you to manage a CRM with discipline, forecast accurately, and handle objections using data rather than intuition. You become the person who owns the entire sales cycle, moving from administrative support to a seat at the table where revenue targets are set and achieved.
