Certification

CFP (Certified Fence Professional) Certification requires a long-term commitment on the part of the candidate seeking this distinction. There are three parts to initial certification:
  1. Personal History and Service. This needs to be completed before you can sit for the exam.
  2. A comprehensive four hour examination, which will be given at FENCETECH or a location convenient to you (a minimum of five people are needed for this service).
  3. A peer review process, a signed affidavit and a commitment to the AFA Code of Ethics.

 

 

With your initial enrollment fee of $295.00 ($649.00 for non-members) you will be provided with your own copy of the current ASTM specifications and Federal Specification RRF-191.
