Most of the certificate programs are designed for college students. So, unless specifically noted otherwise, you must have completed high school (or its equivalent in your country) and possess a solid understanding of high school-level math and English. Additionally, you are responsible for ensuring that you meet any age-related requirements for online learning under your country’s laws.

No. Work experience is usually not required for registration or for earning the certificates for most of the programs at IAEBM.

Yes, you can. While students at partner institutions or those with IAEBM Academic Fellows on campus may have easier access to information and support, most of our programs are open to all qualified individuals. You are welcome to contact us directly for guidance on registration, scholarships, or other program details.

English is the official language for all IAEBM programs and communication. However, we believe language should be a tool—not a barrier. Our primary focus is on economic, financial, and business knowledge, not English proficiency itself. We strive to make our programs accessible and flexible for learners from diverse language backgrounds. Specific language accommodations may vary by country or region. For details, please contact our Support Team at [insert email] or inquire with your IAEBM Academic Fellow.

In most cases, a solid understanding of high school-level English, based on your country’s national education system, is sufficient to succeed in the program.

Yes. Language accommodations vary by region and are prioritized for widely spoken languages among our students. For example, we aim to provide translations for registration and certification documents; administrative communications; student inquiries and responses, and so forth. However, we typically do not offer translations for lecture slides (PPTs) or test and quiz questions. Students are encouraged to use dictionaries or AI translation tools if needed. Again, the program’s focus is on mastering content in economics, finance, and business—not English fluency.

Yes. IAEBM offers funding supports and scholarships, with a focus on students from underrepresented or underserved groups—such as U.S. community college students, First Nations students in Canada, and international students in developing countries. Scholarship availability and criteria may change over time, so we recommend contacting us directly or reaching out to an IAEBM Academic Fellow at your university for the most up-to-date information.

If you’re registering through our official IAEBM website, you will need a credit card that supports payment in U.S. dollars. If you’re enrolling through a special channel that is country- or region-based (e.g., using a special registration code), alternative payment options may be available. Please consult your IAEBM Academic Fellow or contact our support team for details.

For the programs that are offered jointly through your University, please contact your University’s registration office regarding refund or withdraw policies. For the programs that directly provided by IAEBM, once your registration is approved, your payment is received, and you’re issued login credentials to your online learning system, you’ll have seven (7) calendar days to explore the program. If it doesn’t match your learning needs or goals, you may request a full refund of your net payment, minus any processing or currency conversion fees, if any (typically under 5%). Refund requests made after this period will not be accepted unless required by law.

Yes. Registration is usually open year-round, except for JCMP which is based on our partnered Universities’ schedules. However, during peak periods—such as the start of academic semesters—processing times may be slightly longer.

Yes. Depending on the programs, students are usually expected to finish their learning requirements within a certain period, ranging from six months to two years. Please contact our Customer Service for detailed information about specific programs.

The total study time to finish each program highly depends on a student’s prior academic background. For more information, please contact our Customer Service for detailed suggestions about specific programs.

For the certificate programs at IAEBM, the required learning materials are provided in our online Learning Management System (LMS). Once you register, you’ll receive a username and password to access the platform. Usually, no additional textbook purchases are necessary, though you’re welcome to use other resources if you find them helpful.

Yes. Every student is assigned an Academic Advisor and one or two Teaching Assistants (TAs). Your Academic Advisor is responsible for managing your curriculum and making course requirements, reviewing your test performance, and making the final decision on awarding your certificate. Your TAs are available to answer questions about the learning materials, help you prepare for assessments, and assist with any administrative tasks. If you have questions or need assistance, you should contact your TAs first. If an issue falls outside TA’s scope, they will refer you to your Advisor or other IAEBM staff.

For most of the certificate programs at IAEBM, students’ evaluations are based on their scores of multiple assignments, rather than one single Exam at the end. For more information, please contact our Customer Service for detailed suggestions about specific programs.

All tests and quizzes are conducted online, are open-book, and are self-paced. While specific formats and policies may be updated from time to time, the focus remains on applying concepts, not simple memorization. Full details will be available in your course materials upon registration.

Usually no. You may take quizzes at your own pace. However, we recommend creating a study plan and distributing your quiz completion evenly throughout your planned study time to stay on track.

The certificates that IAEBM issues are typically valid for life. Anyone can verify your certificate on the official IAEBM website at the Verify Certificates page, using your name and certificate number—unless you’ve chosen to opt out of the public verification system.

Both. Once the IAEBM Academic Board confirms that you’ve met all program requirements of the certificate you are studying for, you will receive an electronic certificate via email within five business days. A printed certificate will also be mailed to you free of charge during the next IAEBM Assembly in your country or region: In the U.S. and Canada, Assemblies are held seasonally; in Mainland China, Assemblies occur twice a year; in most other countries and regions, they are held annually.

Many past students have received recommendation letters from their IAEBM Academic Advisors, which proved helpful for graduate school or job applications. However, writing such letters is not part of IAEBM’s official service or the contractual duties of our advisors. While you are welcome—and encouraged—to reach out to your advisor with such a request, please understand that it is at their discretion and cannot be guaranteed.
