National Financial Educators Council

The National Financial Educators Council (NFEC) is a social enterprise dedicated to advancing financial literacy and empowerment globally. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, its core mission is to equip individuals with the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions, thereby fostering greater financial well-being and strengthening communities. The NFEC operates as an independent, IACET-accredited provider and a Certified B Corporation, underscoring its commitment to rigorous standards and social impact.

The NFEC offers a comprehensive suite of solutions for financial educators, organizations, and individuals. Key services include the Certified Financial Education Instructor (CFEI) program, Certified Personal Financial Wellness Consultant (CPFWC) training, and an online personal finance learning management system called eVolve. They provide evidence-based curricula, assessments, and turnkey program support designed to reduce the time and cost associated with implementing effective financial education initiatives for various market segments, including schools, employers, and community groups.

Under the leadership of CEO Vince Shorb, the NFEC maintains a prominent market position through its focus on measurable outcomes and advocacy. Recent initiatives include launching new state chapters, such as the Oregon and Texas Financial Educators Councils, and spearheading campaigns to elevate financial education as a core subject and address financial instability as a public health emergency.
