Global network of authorized training partners continues building data science and business analytics curricula on the European Commission-backed framework as the institutional network expands

 
EINDHOVEN, Netherlands — September 11, 2026 — The International Association of Business Analytics Certifications (IABAC) today reaffirmed that curriculum standards for its Authorized Training Provider (ATP) program continue to be built on the European Commission's EDISON Data Science Framework, as the organization's global network of accredited training partners expands across multiple regions.
Under the ATP program, training institutes seeking authorization to deliver IABAC certification courses must align their data science and business analytics curricula with EDISON framework standards before receiving approval. Applicant organizations must also meet eligibility requirements set by IABAC, including proof of legal registration, at least one year of documented business operations, and an established quality management system.
IABAC's ATP network now includes training providers operating across Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and North America, with partner institutes based in countries including India, the Netherlands, Kenya, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, and the United States, among others. Each partner institute submits curriculum materials for IABAC review and approval prior to authorization, and accredited trainers are certified separately under IABAC's trainer accreditation guidelines.
Since January 2023, IABAC has partnered with G-CREDO (Global Credentialing Office) to manage institutional licensing, exam booking, and certification services on behalf of ATP partners, streamlining how training providers process learner registrations and certifications globally.
Organizations interested in becoming an IABAC Authorized Training Provider can apply through IABAC's official application process, which includes an eligibility check, application review, and onboarding, typically completed within 10 to 15 business days.
