Education Technology Vendors
Certifications and Badges
Demonstrate your product's fidelity to Ed-Fi standards and guidelines with Ed-Fi certifications and badges.
State and Local Education Agencies that utilize and implement Ed-Fi are constantly looking for education technology providers that they can rely on to provide a reliable and verifiable connection to their Ed-Fi implementations.
The Ed-Fi Alliance has several ways for Education Technology Providers to showcase their adoption of the Ed-Fi Data Standard and technology suite.
Certifications and badges exist so that every type of education technology provider can adhere to necessary state requirements, provide verification of their product’s ability to utilize the Ed-Fi Technology Suite, and promote their solutions to the growing number of education agencies adopting Ed-Fi.
Ed-Fi Certifications
Ed-Fi certifications are available for Student Information Systems (SIS) and Assessment Providers that support K-12 education agencies. These certifications have been established through the Ed-Fi Governance process and have incorporated input and requirements from state agencies, local district agencies, and technology vendors that are active members of the Ed-Fi Community.
