Exemplar Global Advantage & Alumni Benefits

Why Exemplar Global Accreditation Matters ?
+
It ensures the course syllabus, trainer qualification, and assessment method meet strict international standards. Your certificate is recognised worldwide, not just locally. Employers and clients see it as credible proof of your ESG competence.
Accredited Course VS Non-Accredited course
+
✅Accredited = recognised, trusted, portable worldwide. ❌Non-Accredited = just training without external validation.
Certification & Qualification
+
For a Non-Accredited course, you might still gain knowledge, but the certificate only represents attendance or completion. It won’t carry the same *International Recognition*, nor can it be benchmarked against global standards.

To meet this end, we offer our students and graduates a range of benefits beyond just issuing a certificate at the end of their course. These include:
