CAFM Recertification
CAFM graduates must submit to the Recertification process every five years to maintain an active CAFM status. CAFM graduates are notified in writing of Recertification requirements a few months prior to due date. CAFM graduates must complete and return CAFM Recertification Guidelines along with $100 Recertification fee to NAFA Headquarters by formal due date to maintain the CAFM designation. For your convenience, there is an electronic version of those guidelines below. While early submissions are appreciated, they will not be processed until the month recertification is due.
CAFM graduates who have reached the age of 60 or are formally retired, may submit for a Lifetime certification. Simply fill out the form below with proof of age or retirement and the Certification Board will review your request. A $ 100.00 payment is required for this recertification submission also.
Individuals who do not acquire sufficient CAFM maintenance points for recertification by formal recertification date will be notified in writing of suspension from using the CAFM designation and will no longer be recognized as a CAFM in any NAFA publication and, therefore, must resubmit to the entire certification process. Extenuating circumstances will be reviewed on an individual basis.
The Certification Board suggests that CAFM graduates keep a designated CAFM file to collect and document all professional education and community activities. You may also want to review your file and accumulated points annually to assess remaining points needed to successfully meet your Recertification requirements.
