EFI is an independent training provider. EFI is not currently represented as ICF-accredited or as an NBEFC-approved education provider. This page documents EFI's internal standards mapping, not an external approval claim.
| Track | Status | Current Evidence | Next Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICF Core Competencies Mapping | Internal crosswalk maintained | Competency crosswalk published in curriculum and standards materials | Update mapping whenever EFI revises curriculum or standards language |
| NBEFC-relevant standards mapping | Internal reference only | Scope, outcomes, and ethics themes documented against EFI's internal standards materials | Maintain as internal comparison language unless EFI later enters a formal provider pathway |
| Ethics Enforcement | Active | Role-gated reviewer/admin checks, module ethics content, and public scope-of-practice language | Add server-side audit logging |
Competency Crosswalk
EFI Curriculum Standard Alignment Map
