Important disclaimer |
|
Educational Licenses, Accreditation, and State Sanction. The AAPMapac does not claim
to be a college or university nor does it claim accreditation from any 501 bodies, state, or
federal government agency or body. The AAPM is not a 501c3 organization and never
has claimed to be a tax free or charitable entity. The AAPM may engage in business
with charitable organizations or form alliances with charities that operate under 501 but the
AAPM operates as a responsible, growing, proprietary, growth oriented, and profit
oriented association and company.
The AAPM is an independent authority similar to other American Associations. The
AAPM grants certificates, certifications, marks, designations, and charters much
like hundreds of other legal educational and recognition institutes or associations in the United
States. The AAPM strictly follows the criteria of the Ibanez decision in the United
States. We encourage all members and certified members to meet all requirements for education,
experience, testing, ethics, and continuing education. The AAPM licenses its marks
and logos to others. The marks are generally licensed to individuals. The AAPM will
license the AAPM and other marks and logos to companies, universities, or other uses upon the consent
of its board. As e-commerce is a relatively new field, it is impossible for any association to have
been in this field for any significant length of time. With this in mind, new and growing fields of
study and practice should be given the opportunity to grow and flourish without government interference.
AAPM claims no government sanction or alliance. AAPM has formed legal
relationships with professors, college organizations, university groups and independent training
associations and facilities. As accreditation is generally not operated by any government body,
The AAPM is self governing and our members and certified members are self governing
through our regulations, ethics, and continuing education, and standards much like lawyers, accountants,
or financial planners. |

Note on AAPM Education |
|
AAPM and our organizational membership criteria require an accredited college degree, and AAPM has a global
alliance with the AACSB™ which is the top accreditation authority for US business schools. Thus, we do
in fact accept members and grant certification based on accredited education from real colleges and the best
global business schools.
|
|
Our competition seems to think it necessary to create their own colleges etc. We (AAPM) simply have a mutual
recognition agreement from the 435 or so best business schools in the world and gladly accept "real"
accredited education that is backed by these Dept. of Education recognized accreditation bodies and sanctioned
schools. As you know, you must take many rigorous exams in a business school to achieve a degree. Moreover,
our on-site or in-house executive training programs do have comprehensive exit exams.
|
|
In contrast, some large financial planner groups certified 20 thousand or so people before even having a final
exam. If you don’t believe it , do your research. Over the decades, some rather large financial planning
organizations have allowed thousands of members or insurance agents to be certified without having a college
degree by just mailing those 5 or so take home courses with some quizzes.
|
|
To be honest, AAPM has the highest respect for our nations' top business schools and believes a real finance
education and accredited degree to be better than "mail order courses from financial planning organizations
".
|
|
Because we are an academic organization run by college professor professionals, we may from time to time have a
call for papers CFP for articles to be contributed to our online viewers. Any reference to CFP would be a reference
to a long standing English use of the "Call For Papers" in the Academic world which has probably been used
for over 50 years.

CERTIFIED FINANCIAL ANALYST ™ IS A SERVICE MARK recently OWNED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF FINANCIAL
MANAGEMENT and is not used as a credential by AAPM anymore - Char. Financial Professional was a registered
Service mark but was effectively changed to MFP Master Financial Professional by our worldwide organization.
AAPM AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT, LC is a Louisiana Limited Liability Corporation/Company contact

|
AAPM Analysts |
|
The AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT Analysts was conceived and developed by
professionals such as financial specialists, chartered financial professionals, wealth managers, asset
managers, lawyers, university professors, and investment managers. Our programs are designed to accommodate
the busy professional.
|
|
Other Certification programs are riddled with problems because they: take years to complete, are unrealistic,
use poorly designed tests (outdated to new treasury or tax regulations), are cumbersome, and costs are unreasonable.
Our Top-Class organization can recognize those who have taken many postgraduate/college exams, attended many
courses and conferences focusing on continuing education, and accumulated specific on-the-job experience and
education. AAPM designations, charters, & certifications are for those professionals who have
already proved themselves in the industry.
|
|
After you have completed the application and become a member and been awarded your designations and credentials,
you will be recognized by the AAPM in your career goals and listed on our Global Registry. If you
desire to be a member before you meet the experience and education requirements, you may apply for membership,
but you will submit all certification information when you meet experience and other requirements.
|
|
Moreover, student memberships are available. If you meet the requirements and criteria to
become certified and receive a charter, you will become a "AAPM" or "
AAPM" which is a "Fellow or Diplomate of the AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Analysts" and have full use of the designations to use after your name.
