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.

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. GAFM 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.  GAFM also recognizes ISO standards for training and quality.

From a legal standpoint, you must realize that GAFM 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. Thus, we have accredited and sanctioned over 1000+ + colleges and universities that provide government approved or sanctioned education.

So, GAFM ® 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 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, 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.

The  Board of Standards that offers charters & board certification to qualified individuals who have met our experience and ethic requirements. Further, on its face, we offer certification to those who have successfully passed multiple courses and exams at ACCREDITED SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES through our legal articulation & recognition agreements worldwide.  Various Intellectual Property is owned by the board of standards.  The entity is independent of the global advisory and academic network.

In general, any of our members who have applied from our 1000 + accredited and approved law and business school relationships HAVE MET THE MOST STRENUOUS CRITERIA FOR COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE, COURSE REQUIREMENTS, COURSE COMPLETION, COURSE TESTING AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS IN THE WORLD.
** Unlike other organizations, the GAFM has always required accredited college education for membership. Moreover, the bulk of GAFM membership are not “salespersons” or so called producers. Most of GAFM members are in positions of management such as: Financial Managers, Economists, Project Managers, Trust and Estate Planners, Asset Managers,  Wealth Managers, Accountants, Engineers, Corporate Finance Managers and so on…….

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.

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.
