International EdTech Alliance
A standard, not a vendor.
International EdTech Alliance is a non-profit — the holder of the brand, the training standards, and the verification registry. We don't run the cloud infrastructure ourselves: a separate Technical Operator provides that, under SLA, so the Alliance can stay focused on what an NGO should own — standards, accreditation, and the registry that makes a diploma worth something.
The Alliance
Non-profit. Holds the brand, the education standards, and the public verification registry. Accepts membership dues from partner schools and issues the International EdTech Alliance Diploma alongside each school's own local certificate.
The Technical Operator
A separate commercial IT company, contracted to run Managed Cloud Labs — students connect directly over SSH or RDP to pre-provisioned stands, backed by SLA and 24/7 support. The Alliance's own platform integrates with it; it isn't something the Alliance builds itself.
Recognition from the companies that hire, not just the Alliance.
A council of security companies — SOC vendors, MSSPs, Purple Team firms — that helps shape the standard and formally recognizes the Alliance Diploma. The goal is a credential employers already trust before a candidate ever mentions it, not one they have to be convinced of.
Membership standing is part of the public record.
The same registry that verifies a diploma also shows whether the issuing training center is still a member in good standing. Full terms governing membership are set out in the partnership agreement signed at onboarding.
Member in good standing — diplomas issued under this training center verify as endorsed.
Membership withdrawn — diplomas already issued stop showing as endorsed by the Alliance.
