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."
