National Association of Funeral Directors |

As a bespoke accredited centre with AIM, the NAFD, have been delighted with the service and support which we have received over the last 12 months. We transferred over to AIM in 2022, at which point we were assigned an EQA for our newly accredited Level 4 programme. During this time the EQA has worked closely with us to ensure that our programme assessments are up to the required standard and fit for delivery. The EQA has gone above and beyond his role, in supporting the NAFD and upskilling us (as we were a new centre) to the whole quality assurance process. He should be commended and is a credit to AIM.
