Renewal Form

 

You must renew your certification with ASMC every two years. To do this, you must complete 80 hours of Continuing Professional Education (CPE) in every two-year period following the issuance of your certification. The anniversary date for measuring the CPE qualification is two years from the date your CDFM certification is issued. One unit of CPE is awarded for each 50 minutes of contact time engaged in activities listed below. You may be asked, as part of the renewal, to provide evidence of your CPE.

Renewal cost is $20.00 for active ASMC members and $40.00 for non-members.  The renewal fee is charged biennially starting 90 days before your renewal date.

Renewal is a personal responsibility. If your certificate is over two years old (date on the certificate) you should renew today using the Online Renewal or you may complete the Renewal Coupon and mail it with your payment to the CDFM staff at ASMC Headquarters (415 N. Alfred Street, Suite 3, Alexandria, VA 22314).
 
Methods of obtaining Continuing Professional Education include:
  • Attendance at relevant formal training courses
  • Attendance at relevant college courses
  • Attendance at briefing or lectures on relevant subjects
  • Attendance at professional conferences
  • Teaching and course preparation for relevant subject matter
  • Preparation and delivery of briefing and work-related documents outside of the scope of routine business
  • Reading of articles in professional journals

Recording and Documenting Your CPE
Individuals are responsible for documenting their own CPE. We recommend you record your continuing professional education units in a log which is readily accessible. You must provide your log on request to ASMC National Headquarters. The CPE policy document can be downloaded from the CDFM Information Policy section. This document includes instructions for the conversion of CLUs and CEUs to CPE.
