How to Consult the List of EFMD Global Members

Updated

EFMD Global publishes a member directory on its website at efmdglobal.org, reachable from the "EFMD MEMBERS" section of the homepage. The directory is the authoritative place to check whether a business school, company, or other organisation is an EFMD institutional member. According to the site, the network covers 980 institutional members across 95 countries, representing roughly 30,000 management development professionals. Use the directory when you need to verify a specific school's or company's membership status, or to see which institutions in a given country or region belong to the network.

Steps to reach the member list

  1. Go to efmdglobal.org.
  2. Locate the EFMD MEMBERS section on the homepage. It displays the headline figures (institutional members, countries, management development professionals).
  3. Select the link labelled CONSULT THE LIST OF EFMD MEMBERS.
  4. The directory opens, letting you browse or search the institutional members.

Expected result: you land on the official member listing rather than a third-party summary, so the information reflects EFMD's own records.

The list covers institutions rather than individuals, so it is the right resource for confirming whether a school, corporate learning function, or similar organisation holds EFMD membership.

When to use it

  • Verifying a claim: a programme or school states it is an EFMD member — check the directory before relying on that.
  • Researching a region: see which institutions in a particular country are part of the network.
  • Benchmarking: understand the breadth of the membership base before deciding whether to join or partner.
  • Due diligence: confirm an organisation's standing as part of a broader assessment.

Common snags

  • The homepage presents several services and accreditation systems alongside the member figures. Make sure you follow the member list link, not an accreditation or certification page — those describe separate offerings such as EQUIS, the Programme Accreditation System, or BSIS.
  • The site also offers a newsletter subscription. That is a separate action from consulting the member directory and does not give access to member records.
  • Membership in EFMD is distinct from holding an EFMD accreditation or certification. An institution can appear in the member list without holding a specific accreditation, and the accreditation pages are where you check that status.
