AAFM Recognizes Double Accredited Education  and Exams Worldwide - AND is the First to Do So

As you know, many other organizations attempt to set up their own college, universities or training programs that lead to their own certification in the USA. AAFM is the first organization in the world to enter joint education recognition agreements with the AACSB and ACBSP which includes the 1000+ top ACCREDITED business schools worldwide that are recognized by the department of education.

From a legal standpoint, you must realize that AAFM has recognized (in mutual and legal agreements) 1000+ + business schools and graduate law schools worldwide through agreements with the AACSB and ACBSP and ABA Law Schools.

So, AAFM accepts successfully completed credits and degrees completed from these top 1000 business schools, MBA programs, and law schools worldwide. It is an unprecedented move by AAFM that has NEVER been achieved by ANY organization worldwide.

4-7 Year Certification Path via Accredited programs

*Candidates at a young age should realize that they can: Apply for admission to an accredited program and college, earn acceptance to an accredited program, excel in a focus area, pass all of the course exams from accredited programs, and then become eligible for board certification if they meet the other requirements such as experience, ethics and continuing education. It can be a 4-7 year certification process depending on if you go into a masters program, but our Board of Standards has the most respected path and method of certification which cooperates directly with government recognized schools.

NOTE on designations and credentials:

AAFM mandates that all members subject to US Jurisdiction abide by the rules and regulations of the SEC, NASD and local, state and federal regulators and laws. Any member who uses an AAFM designation or board certification should understand that policy and regulation differs from broker-dealer to broker dealer and possibly from state to state thus reducing the ability to use any or all designations. All members that advise clients on investments or insurance products are encouraged to earn and hold an investment advisors license, series 65, 66 or RIA registration or licenses for the sale of insurance products.
