EduPreneurX CEO Accreditation — global recognition, board-level credentials
The origin, vision, governance, and structure of EduPreneurX — the world's first accreditation body for entrepreneurs.
EduPreneurX emerged from a simple but profound observation by Eng. Mohammad Shakil: the global education system extensively accredits academic knowledge, professional skills, and technical competencies — but almost completely ignores the most transformative capability of the modern economy: entrepreneurship.
Anyone can be certified as a Project Manager (PMP) or an Engineer (CEng). But nowhere on earth could an entrepreneur get formal accreditation for their journey from idea to CEO. EduPreneurX was founded to fill this gap — creating the world's first structured, globally-recognised accreditation pathway specifically for founders and CEOs.
Registered under the Radiant Global Society (RGS) in the UK — a non-profit society governed by Eng. Mohammad Shakil as General Secretary — EduPreneurX operates with a mission-first mandate: empowering the next generation of global entrepreneurs, regardless of geography, background, or nationality.
