National Educational Foundation

What National Educational Foundation does

National Educational Foundation, operating as CyberLearning, is a California-based nonprofit educational organization founded in 2013 that delivers workforce, adult-learner, and K-12 programs through a web-based learning management system. The LMS hosts 3,000+ online courses across 50 course packages covering 40+ IT certifications (Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, Oracle, CompTIA, and others) plus soft-skills modules, with content mapped to industry certification body blueprints including CompTIA, Cisco, PMI, IIBA, PeopleCert, EC-Council, and (ISC)². Beyond the catalog, the platform instruments cohort management, progress reporting dashboards, and certification exam preparation tracks, and pairs self-paced online delivery with scheduled in-person mentoring at partner sites.

The business is built around four interlocking revenue streams: (1) course and certification licensing sold to K-12 districts, community colleges, workforce boards, employers, and individual learners (individual course package IDs priced at $65 for 12-month unlimited access, with district and employer cohort pricing quote-based); (2) grant and funding programs (STEM+, Full Professional Development, Digital Literacy, Adopt-A-School, Workforce, Teacher Training, Matching) that underwrite school districts, workforce programs, and qualifying adult learners; (3) employer and corporate sponsorship, including CSR-backed cohorts and named Adopt-A-School engagements; and (4) managed IT services for K-12 districts (endpoint management, network monitoring, CISA-aligned filtering, email security, MFA, backup, ransomware resilience, help desk, and NIST CSF-aligned risk assessments). A Course Quality Guarantee (refund if coursework is 80%+ complete and the certification exam is failed) supports enrollment conversion.

Distribution is hybrid: direct sales-led scoping for K-12 districts and workforce cohorts, channel partnerships with Pearson, Skillsoft, SUNY Potsdam, and TEKsystems, and international partner deployment in India (MIITE initiative), Egypt (AmCham OTS program, 40,000+ certificates awarded), and Mauritius. Customer segments span K-12 schools and districts, adult learners and career-changers, community colleges and workforce boards, corporate employers (Lockheed Martin, Wipro, JPMorgan Chase), and international partners. The organization does not disclose revenue, headcount, or funding rounds, and is governed by California law as a privately held nonprofit.

Revenue model

1. Course / Certification Licensing: CyberLearning licenses access to its online course catalog (3,000+ courses across 50 packages) to districts, workforce boards, community colleges, employers, and individual learners. Course packages are priced per learner seat or per course package ID, with volume pricing available for enterprise and district engagements.
2. Grant and Funding Programs: CyberLearning operates multiple grant programs (STEM+, Full Professional Development, Digital Literacy, Adopt-A-School, Workforce, Teacher Training, Matching Grants) that underwrite school districts, workforce programs, and qualifying adult learners. Grant funding is a mechanism that makes programs affordable and drives new engagement acquisition.
3. Employer and Corporate Sponsorship: Corporate sponsors underwrite training for students, employees, or cohorts in exchange for CSR outcomes, hiring pipeline access, and regional PR recognition. Sponsorship takes forms including direct funding, in-kind course access, matching arrangements, or named Adopt-A-School engagements. Sponsors can also use the catalog for internal employee upskilling at 30–70% savings versus equivalent external training.
4. Managed IT Services: For K-12 districts with lean internal IT, CyberLearning provides managed IT services scoped for school environments including endpoint management, network monitoring, CIPA-aligned filtering, email security, MFA, backup, ransomware resilience, help desk, Tier-1 support, and cybersecurity risk assessments aligned with CISA K-12 guidance and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
5. Course Guarantee Refund Recovery: Under the Certification Quality Guarantee, learners who complete coursework at 80%+ but fail the certification exam receive a refund of the subscription cost for that series. This guarantee is a trust-building mechanism that reduces learner financial risk and drives enrollment.
