Our Story
It all began with two friends who dreamt of starting something completely new.
We had a great vision, a passion for change and all the right skills. Together, we established Five Bees, a company dedicated to finding cutting-edge solutions and providing great services.
Through these solutions and services, not only do we aim to provide high quality, affordable professional qualifications, but also to invest in other companies and ideas to help fuel a change for societies to think outside the box on what drives us onwards and upwards.
