A New Global Standard: Why We Invested in an Accredited Future for African Tech Talent

 

Today represents a significant milestone in our journey at Smartcomply. We are incredibly proud to announce that Smartcomply Academy, our capacity-development arm, has earned full accreditation from the American Accreditation Association (AAA), officially recognizing it as a global Certification Body for Personnel Certification.

This is more than an achievement for our academy; it is a strategic pillar in our mission to build a secure and resilient digital future for Africa. In a rapidly globalizing world, the true measure of technology is trust. This accreditation embeds a new layer of globally recognized trust into the very heart of the African tech ecosystem: its people.

For our enterprise clients and partners, this means the teams you build and the experts you rely on can be fortified with skills benchmarked against the highest international standards. It ensures that the professionals implementing critical compliance and cybersecurity frameworks within your organizations do so with world-class, verifiable expertise, creating a powerful African-led alternative to relying solely on foreign certification bodies.

"This is a watershed moment, not just for Smartcomply, but for the thousands of talented professionals across Africa who deserve a platform to prove their expertise on a global stage," said Gbemisola Osunrinde, CEO of Smartcomply. "For too long, the default for global validation has been to look outside the continent to bodies like PECB. With this AAA accreditation, we are not just matching that standard; we are setting a new one-one that is globally recognized yet deeply rooted in the realities of our own market."

This move complements our recently launched Partner Program, creating a powerful, synergistic ecosystem. We are not only providing the tools for our partners to succeed but are now also providing the accredited training to ensure the teams that use those tools are the best in the world.

This is how we build a stronger, more secure digital economy for everyone.
