IACET Accredited Provider   

The NFEC is committed to delivering financial wellness programs that meet the same high standards as top higher education institutions. Africans seeking financial education can trust the NFEC’s proven quality, backed by its designation as an IACET Accredited Provider. This status represents the highest international accreditation standards for continuing education and training, covering nine core categories that ensure consistency, rigor, and measurable outcomes.

As an International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) Accredited Provider, the NFEC offers IACET Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for courses that comply with the globally recognized ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. For Africans, this means completing NFEC training results in CEUs that are accepted by employers, professional boards, and organizations across Africa and worldwide.

With IACET Accreditation, the NFEC is expanding its mission to help Africans and global learners make qualified financial decisions with confidence. By partnering with financial educators across Africa, the NFEC provides training, resources, and support that meet the world’s highest standards.

B Corp Certification

The NFEC has always been driven by a mission of economic empowerment through financial education. As a Certified B Corporation, we are uniquely positioned to advance that mission at scale. We mobilize champions and advocates across Africa – equipping them with industry-leading training and resources – to expand financial capability and resilience in communities worldwide.

Earning B Corp Certification and formalizing our public benefit commitment reflects our dedication to using business as a force for good. The certification process required a rigorous review of how our practices affect clients, employees, communities, and the environment. It verifies that we meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.

B Corp Certification is an independent, third-party verified credential administered by B Lab for companies that meet rigorous social and environmental performance standards and make a legal commitment to stakeholder governance.

No other accredited financial education provider in our vertical currently operates in Africa. Part of our mission is to elevate financial literacy education and encourage other providers to pursue formal accreditation so they can improve quality, increase trust, and expand funding opportunities.
