Application

I’m ready to apply for the CFM Exam

The CFM application should be completed only when you are sure that you are ready to sit for the exam. If you need assistance in determining whether your education and experience fit the exam requirements, please contact credentials@ifma.org. If you are ready, please proceed to the CFM application online form.

Application Fees: US$550.00 (member) / US$815.00 (nonmember)

I need to retake the CFM Exam

Individuals who have taken the CFM Exam but have not passed it within 12 months are eligible for the CFM Retake Application. All other applicants should complete the standard application.

Application Fees: US$265.00 (member) / US$365.00 (nonmember)

What happens after I submit my application?

The approval process can take up to 21 days. After an application is approved, candidates have 90 days to sit for the exam. Steps on scheduling an exam with Prometric will be sent via e-mail with the approval notice.

What if I need to reschedule my exam with Prometric?

If you need to reschedule or cancel your exam date you must give Prometric (not IFMA) 48-hours notice. You must call prior to noon (Eastern Standard Time) two business days before the original appointment.

If you do not cancel before the deadline, you will be considered a “no show” and may incur additional charges to reschedule your exam.
