EFA qualifications
How are EFA certified qualifications developed?
All EFA certified qualifications are built around a common set of competencies, which form the backbone of a robust professional fundraising qualification.
To develop a qualification, we encourage national fundraising associations to work with an experienced educational provider who will be able to deliver the training in line with EFA guidelines. The competencies and guidelines are set out within the EFA Certification Standard Competence Framework, and the EFA Certification Advanced Competence Framework handbook.
