CFCMNotice to CFCM Candidates: The CFCM Examination was updated on September 1, 2012 and covers FAR changes through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-57. We recommend that you purchase the new CFCM Study Guide, 2nd Edition. If using the 2010 version of the guide, you should familiarize yourself with the contents of FACs 05-46 through 05-57.
What is the CFCM? A Certified Federal Contracts Manager (CFCM) certification validates your education, training, experience, and your knowledge of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.
Who takes the certification exam? Federal employees and military members who have previously earned the minimum required Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA) or Federal Acquisition Certification-Contracting (FAC-C) certification and contracting professionals in the private sector who deal with federal contracts.
What is the level of education required to become certified? An undergraduate degree of any type from a regionally accredited college or university or from a distance‐learning institution accredited by the Distance Education Training Council is required. Degrees from institutions outside the United States will be evaluated on a case‐by‐case basis by the NCMA Certification Department. Non‐degreed candidates for the CFCM who have ten years of verifiable contract management experience may request a waiver.
When can I take the exam? Individuals who are interested in taking the exam must submit an application to NCMA. Once the application has been processed, reviewed, and approved you will be able to take the exam.
Where do I take the exam? The CFCM exam is offered weekly through Kryterion Learning Centers. There are over 600 national and international testing centers available. NCMA also offers exams at educational conferences―check the conferences page for the next NCMA conference. NCMA’s local chapters also host exams; check with your chapter or call NCMA to find out if your chapter is hosting an exam this year.
