CFPS Certification Provides: Accomplishment Achievement Competency Credibility Professional Qualification, Credential, and Designation National Level Certification Recognition (by Peers & Customers) Personnel and Professional Development Increased Knowledge Personal Pride

What Some CFPS Certificate Holders Say About CFPS: • CFPS is the only worldwide recognized certification in the fire protection field • CFPS certification raises the bar for so-called experts by placing an examination and continuing education performance requirements upon registrants. I feel it is a good complement to my professional engineering licensure. …. • It signifies a thorough working knowledge of Fire Protection in vast majority of subjects, unlike any other certification. • Initially for me, it was a job requirement. Today, it shows a higher level of competence should be expected from me, just as my PE designation does. • The CFPS certification was actually the deciding factor in my hiring in at least two occasions.
