Exam for CE Credit

Candidates for recertification are permitted to satisfy the Education requirements for recertification by taking the current form of the CFRE Examination and achieving a passing score. By passing the current examination, candidates fulfill the Education requirements only. Candidates are still required to submit an application for Recertification which meets the established requirements for Professional Practice, Performance and Service.

If the candidate does not achieve a passing score on the exam, the candidate must submit alternate information to satisfy the Education requirements for recertification before his or her certification expires.

The individual must submit to CFRE International a written request to sit for the CFRE examination for purposes of recertifying before his or her certification expires and must pay the current examination fee.

The candidate will be schedule to sit for the examination.

Scores from the exam will be sent directly to the candidate from CFRE International’s professional testing agency. A copy of scores is also sent to the CFRE International offices for the candidate’s file. The candidate may retake the exam, if necessary.

When a passing score is returned, the Experience, Performance and Service portions of the application will be forwarded to the Board of Directors for review.

When a non-passing score is returned, the candidate will be sent a letter requesting additional continuing education information needed to satisfy the requirements.

If the candidate does not submit continuing education information sufficient to satisfy the requirements or achieve a passing score on the exam by the end of his or her grace period, the candidate’s certification will expire.
