Common Questions
Is there a cost to apply?
No. The application process is free. You only pay if you select a paid partnership tier (Academic Partner or Center of Excellence).
How long does the review process take?
Our team reviews applications within 5 business days. We then schedule a consultation call to discuss your goals and answer questions.
Can we start as an Affiliate and upgrade later?
Absolutely. Many institutions start as Affiliates to explore the curriculum, then upgrade to Academic Partner or Center of Excellence as they build their program.
How many faculty need to be certified?
At minimum, one faculty member should earn the IFO4 Certified Instructor (ICI) credential. We recommend at least two for program continuity.
Can we customize the curriculum?
Academic Partners receive complete curriculum packages that can be adapted. Center of Excellence partners get dedicated curriculum development support for custom programs.
What if our institution is outside the US?
IFO4 partnerships are available worldwide. All materials are in English. We are exploring translations and localized content for future releases.
