    The New NFPA® Online Certification Platform Is a Major Upgrade for Certification Holders and Future Candidates

    Applying for and managing your NFPA® certifications just got easier. The new NFPA® online certification management system (CMS) means the entire certification process is going digital. The new platform, rolling out over the next few months, will let you:

    • Submit applications and payments online.
      • NOTE: New certification applications are available now.
    • Review application progress and certification status.
    • Receive instant exam results.
    • Print your certification certificates.
    • Receive recertification reminders.
    • Access online professional directory*.


    Already a valued NFPA certification holder?

    • If you are currently certified, all your certification information will be migrated to the new CMS soon.
    • Recertification applications and CFPS Renewal will be available once all data are migrated.
    • We will be sending you more detailed instructions about how to access all your personal certification information in the new CMS.


    Have an application in process?

    • If you’ve started an application in the existing system, please complete the process and submit payment ASAP so we can migrate your record to the new CMS.
    • Incomplete applications will not be migrated to the new platform. If you do not complete and submit the application with a payment, you will need to start the application process again in the new CMS.
    • If you have submitted your application and paid, you will automatically be moved to the new online platform.


    NEW Remote Proctoring Take your certification exam from your own computer.

    NFPA is also rolling out a new remote proctoring option for certification exams.** That means there’s no need to travel to a test center for a proctored exam. Now you can take your certification exam from the convenience of your home or office.

    Learn more about all available online certifications at nfpa.org/certsolutions.

    * Employers and potential customers can verify certification status or search for professionals with certain certifications.

    ** Remote proctoring is not yet available for CFI-I, CFI-II, and CFPE.
