What it means

What our recognitions actually mean

AAFM® and GAFM standards and designations are referenced, accredited or allied with leading authorities across four areas: government and labour bodies, higher-education accreditation councils, academic and business-school associations, and international quality and standards systems.

Each recognition does a different job. Government listings confirm the designations are real and documented; accreditation bodies vouch for educational quality; ISO and TÜV certify the management and examination systems themselves. Together they explain why an AAFM® charter travels across borders.
