CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDITS FOR CFMs
As part of maintaining ASFPM Certification status, the Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM®) must stay current in their knowledge of floodplain management policies and concepts.
The requirement for continuing education within the two-year period can be met through combinations of formal courses, university short courses, home study courses which require an exam for successful completion, RedVector.com online courses or attendance at technical program portions of the ASFPM Annual Conference, state or regional chapter or association conferences, or other related technical conferences and workshops. Detailed CEC requirements can be found on the ASFPM Website.
Qualified Courses
ASFPM has now teamed with RedVector.com, a global leader of on-line training, to offer courses that qualify for Continuing Education Credits (CECs). A list of courses that qualify for CFM Program credit are posted on the ASFPM website. Go to http://www.floods.org/ ,then "Certification", then "On-line training- RedVector" for the list. The list shows how many CECs are awarded for completing the course and passing the exam, and if the course is considered a "core" or "parallel" course. The list will be updated as additional courses are approved by the Certification Board of Regents.
Check your CECs Online
ASFPM is continuing to add enhancements for ASFPM members who are Certified Floodplain Managers. CFMs who are current individual members can log on to the members website and view their certification file for Continuing Education Credits. This site shows how many CECs the member has earned, in what year the CECs were earned, and the type of CECs (core or parallel). If you have problems logging on or have questions about your CECs, please contact Anita at cfm@floods.org.
