Examination

Passing APPA’s Certified Educational Facilities Professional examination is the final step in earning your CEFP certification.

Step One:  Qualify

In order to qualify for the CEFP exam, you must have at least 8 years of combined educational and work experience.  For example, if you have a two-year degree, you must have at least 6 years of experience to qualify for the exam.  See if you qualify!
