Established in 1984, the American Vocational Education Federation is a leader in vocational school certifications in North America. The more than 6,500 graduates from schools certified by our federation in the US alone maintain America's technological lead in the world.
Our country and its industries need personnel with adaptable knowledge and vast skills to keep up with the unstopping changes in technology. We certify schools that share that vision and implement it in their curricula.
The high standards we apply to prospective schools we apply to ourselves as well. Our certifiers are not only leading experts in their field, but also professional educators who have made it their personal goal to make American Vocational Education the best in the world.
AVEF certification tells students, employers, and regulators that a school meets rigorous standards for curriculum, instruction, facilities, and student outcomes — in the United States and internationally.
