Exam name : CFPS
The CFPS exam is a rigorous test of both the knowledge of the counting rules laid out in the current release of the CPM and the ability to apply those rules. The exam consists of three sections: Definition, Implementation and Case. An individual must have at least 90% correct on each section of the exam or at least 90% overall correct with at least 80% correct on each section of the exam in order to receive the CFPS designation.
In addition to the CFPS exams regularly scheduled at the IFPUG annual workshops, regional exams may be scheduled between workshops for those unable to attend the workshops.
