DALLAS, Jan. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) has awarded the National Financial Educators Council the prestigious Accredited Provider accreditation. As an IACET Accredited provider, the National Financial Educators Council offers CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. The accreditation period extends for five years and includes select programs offered or created during that time.
"The NFEC is proud of our education programs, which educate thousands of Americans each year in crucial financial wellness skills that maintain relevancy in today’s world," stated Vince Shorb, CEO of the NFEC. Shorb added, "Our accreditation with IACET is a demonstration of our commitment to top-quality adult education and high standards for all our programs. We are very pleased to join such a prestigious organization as well as an elite group of organizations that offer excellent continuing education and training programs."
To achieve Accredited Provider accreditation, the NFEC completed a rigorous application process and successfully demonstrated adherence to the ANSI/IACET 2018-1 Standard for Continuing Education and Training by addressing the design, development, administration, and evaluation of its programs. The NFEC has pledged its continued compliance with the Standard and is now authorized to use the IACET name and Accredited Provider logo on promotional course material.

Earning IACET Accreditation status was a long-term vision that guided the development of all the NFEC’s financial education and financial coaching programming. For each course developed or taught, the NFEC first developed standards for both educators and learners. From that point forward, all material was developed around those standards.
