Program Enrollment
| |
| First, please review your eligibility. The
Certified Defense Financial Manager is open to all candidates
who have the qualifications shown below. ASMC anticipates that
most candidates will be civilian or military members of the Department
of Defense, US Coast Guard, or employees of Defense contractors
or suppliers. |
| |
| To apply and sit for the
examination a candidate must:
|
| |
- Promise to adhere to the ASMC Pledge of Professionalism and
- Have a high school diploma or equivalent
|
| If you meet these requirements, please
complete the CDFM Enrollment Form and mail it, with the enrollment fee (check, American Express, Visa or MasterCard), to the address
shown on the application. If not currently an ASMC member you can qualify for the member rate
by including a membership application with your CDFM enrollment form. |
| |
| In addition to completing all three module examinations, the candidate must satisfy the following financial management
experience requirements before being issued his or her CDFM certificate. |
| |
- Complete four years of federal government related financial management experience
(with an associate degree or higher), or
- Complete three years of Defense related financial management
experience (without
degree), or
- Complete two years of Defense related financial management
experience if the
candidate holds an Associate, Baccalaureate,
or higher degree.
|
| |
|
For those candidates who have satisfied the financial management experience requirement
prior to sitting for the examination, we encourage you to submit your
experience documentation
at the same time you submit your enrollment form.
This will speed the processing of your CDFM certification after you have
passed your third examination. You do not, however, have to satisfy the experience requirement prior to taking an exam. |
| |
| The enrollment fee opens a certification
account with ASMC, which is good for two years. As long as you
complete all three modules within the two-year period, this enrollment
fee will not be charged again. In the rare event a candidate
takes longer than two years to successfully complete the three
examination modules, a new enrollment fee must be paid to ASMC.
However, all successfully completed test modules still remain
valid toward the certification. |
| |
| Upon acceptance of your application,
you will receive a letter from the ASMC containing your nine-digit candidate ID number
and the procedures to follow in registering for the modules examinations. Remember, you
can take module examinations one at a time, or in any combination, or in any order.
|
| |
| Examinations cost $95 per module,
paid in advance. So, when scheduling your appointment, please be prepared to pay for
the examination by the following methods:
American Express, Master Card, Discover, Visa. Please note,
that if for some reason you cannot keep your appointment and
must cancel, you must follow the directions provided in your Authorization Letter.
