Announcing the New Approved Education Provider Program

AFA is thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the new Approved Education Provider Program!  An AFA Approved Education Provider is an organization that has registered with AFA to provide education that meets the recertification standards for AFA’s credentialing programs.

There are many benefits related to this new program, designed to connect education providers with certificants looking for continuing education opportunities:

Benefits to Education Provider:

• Promotion of Education Provider’s approved courses to all certified individuals on a regular basis
• Listing of Education Provider’s approved courses on AFA’s website with links to register

Benefits to Certificants:

• Provides continuing education opportunities in one central location, with easy-to-find hours for recertification
• Reduces reporting burden on certificants – all hours earned through Accredited Education Providers will be directly reported to AFA and applied to certificants’ online profiles for use in recertification applications

More information will be coming in early September as the program officially launches.

If you are part of an organization that provides education and/or training on topics related to fence (installation, materials, standards, etc.), gate operators/access control (installation, design, standards, etc.), or business (sales, leadership, operations, efficiencies, etc.) and would like more information on this program, please contact sara@americanfenceassociation.com.

If you are a current CFC, CGAD, CGAT, or COM, please watch your email in September as we begin listing available continuing education opportunities through this program.
