GAFM ® Recognizes Double Accredited Education and Exams Worldwide by recognizing the accreditation agencies – AND GAFM ® is the First to Do So in the World.
The GAFM ® Board of Standards and Certification Accreditation Council is independent of any training or educational institution and has been independent from inception. GAFM accredits training programs as qualified education for our certifications.

GAFM is the first organization in the world to publish or 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. GAFM also recognizes ISO standards for training and quality.

It is an unprecedented move by GAFM that has NEVER been achieved by ANY organization worldwide. GAFM also accredits and approves qualified ABA Accredited Law School Courses and degrees that lead to certification.  Thus students must start with the end in mind for each certification and take years of classes and exams at government backed institutions before apply for GAFM recognition.

Thus, GAFM is the first financial organization in the WORLD to achieve this status and legal arrangements with 1000 + Business schools and law schools worldwide. GAFM has the Most Registered and Approved business schools and laws schools in the world. More than ANY other independent financial organization.

GAFM ® and our unprecedented 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:

GAFM ® 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 GAFM 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. Moreover, any GAFM member should know that they may be subject to the rules of suitability, client objectives, diversification of client assets, to NOT use risky investments, anti- fraud, rules of representation, the way you hold yourself out to clients & prudent investing for any client who may be nearing retirement or has fixed income needs.  All and any applicants from the USA and specifically the state of Colorado  will be subject to the venue, laws, and  jurisdiction of Louisiana and US Federal Courts EDLA.

Regulation and Licenses

For anyone who holds themselves out as an Analyst and provides analysis on investments, you must be familiar with all rules under the SEC and NASD. Please review this one also http://www.sec.gov/divisions/marketreg/mregacfaq0803.htm#parta as you may be subject to this rule. As per FINRA and SEC rules, US citizens may also be required to pass exams or be approved for various types of activities. Consult your lawyer or state securities agency, banking government agencies, or the SEC, CFPB, FIDC,or FINRA directly to find out what you need to do to be in compliance.

Go to any one of our over 1000 accredited and recognized degree providers for a Recognized Degree

You comprehend that we do not offer any degree or diploma from the USA, but we do offer professional designations to those who have met the accredited education, degree, licenses such as CPA or law, and training and experience requirements. You understand that the GAFM effectively recognizes and accredits over 1000+ double accredited business schools globally as well as the ABA accredited law programs. You agree that you have read the terms and disclaimers and other requirements publicly listed on the websites. Any offers for membership and certification are good for 5 days. If not accepted, the offers act as though they never existed.

Under the precedents set by Peel v. Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission of Illinois and Ibanez v. Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, there are certain requirements for a qualification or certification to be considered truthful and legitimate in the context of commercial speech:

1. Accuracy: The qualification or certification must accurately reflect the individual's or organization's credentials. Any claims made about qualifications, certifications, or achievements must be factually true.

2. Non-Misleading: The information provided about the qualification or certification must not be misleading. This means that it should not create a false impression or deceive consumers regarding the individual's or organization's level of expertise or competence.

3. Recognition or Accreditation: While exact requirements may vary, certifications or qualifications should ideally be obtained from recognized or accredited institutions, organizations, or bodies. This recognition could come from industry standards, government agencies, or reputable professional associations.

4. Consistency with Standards: The qualifications or certifications should align with established standards or norms within the relevant profession or industry. They should demonstrate a level of competence or specialization that is recognized and respected by peers and consumers.

5. Compliance with Regulatory Requirements: Any advertising or promotion of qualifications or certifications must comply with applicable regulatory requirements, including those related to professional conduct, advertising standards, and consumer protection laws.

6. Avoidance of Deceptive Practices: Individuals or organizations promoting qualifications or certifications should refrain from engaging in deceptive practices, such as false advertising, exaggeration of credentials, or misleading representations.

Overall, the key is to ensure that the promotion of qualifications or certifications is done in a truthful, accurate, and non-misleading manner, while also complying with relevant legal and regulatory standards.

Graduate Qualifcations and Certifications

A nano-qualification is a certified online educational program that helps students develop specialized skills.  A micro-qualification offers an abbreviated course of requirements, shorter than traditional graduate degree options. Micro-Distinctions and micro qualifications and micro certifications tend to be more focused than certificate or degree programs. Learners can complete micro qualification courses through various platforms in contrast to being required to take the courses at one college or university or business school. An MBA Certification or MBA Qualification is not a degree but rather a license and credential that is used as a designation for people who have met the accredited education and experience requirements of the Board of Standards.

If you are applying from outside of the USA, the Board has the legal right to refer your application to the organizations who are in charge or have authority over and in your region or territory for assessment and evaluation or training .
