We are very happy to share that AFEE is starting the accreditation process via ANAB: ANSI National Accreditation Board. ANSI stands for: The American National Standards Institute. ANAB is the largest accreditation body in North America; it provides services in more than 75 countries. Participants who will have attended at least 12 webinars and fulfilled the assessment and package requirements will receive an Executive Certificate in Leadership that we hope will be accredited by the American National Standards Institute’s National Accreditation Board (accreditation in progress). If you have any questions about the accreditation process, please contact us at [email protected].
We are also happy to announce that AFEE has started the process to become an HRCI Approved Provider (AP). We hope that participants in our programs will be able to receive Credit Hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR Re-Certification.
[All HRCI-credentialed professionals rely on AP-approved events and activities to earn re-certification credits required to maintain their credentials.]
