CGFM Certification

What Do Exams Cover?

The three comprehensive examinations that make up the core requirement of the CGFM program are:

Each of the three separate examinations is structured to require a candidate to demonstrate primarily a general familiarity, understanding and appreciation of the subject area.  However, portions of each examination, particularly Examination 2, requires a more detailed knowledge of specific techniques, standards, procedures and practices unique to either the federal government or state and local governments.

The three CGFM Examinations are administered year-round in a multiple-choice, computerized format on behalf of AGA by NetCertification, Inc. via the Prometric Technology Centers. This computer-based administration allows the CGFM Examinations to be offered securely in more than 300 locations in the United States, reducing travel costs and allowing candidates to schedule exams at their convenience. See Examination Procedures for more information on how the examinations are administered.
