Description

As a professional dedicated to curtailing physical and financial loss due to fire, you shoulder tremendous responsibility. Through CFPS certification, you can gain the knowledge and proficiency required to ensure the highest level of fire protection for your Organization and facility.
Certified Fire Protection Specialist is an internationally recognized credential that speaks to your commitment to fire protection and distinguishes you as someone who is willing to invest the time and effort to enhance your career. Certificate holders come from a wide variety of disciplines including the fire service, insurance, design, manufacturing, consulting, and asset, property, and facilities management fields.
The purpose of the Certified Fire Protection Specialist credential is to recognize, through certification, qualified individuals who are dedicated to curtailing fire loss, both physical and financial, and who have acquired a level of professionalism through applied work experiences and related educational opportunities, and through successful completion of a certification examination.
The goal of the CFPS program is to promote the discipline of fire protection and prevention. A specific degree is not mandatory for obtaining your CFPS designation. The credential is a balance of education and experience and provides an opportunity for the fire protection specialist to achieve professional recognition. The National Fire Protection Association maintains certification and recertification criteria as related to fire protection specialists.

CFPS certification provides two distinct opportunities for candidates. First, the process provides the individual with a period of self-assessment and self-improvement during the process of preparing for the examination and documenting the professional experience. Second, achievement of certification provides the individual with the recognition by his or her peers and employers or potential employers.
