Continuing Education

Our Continuing Education Program helps candidates find educational offerings from Approved Providers that are pre-approved to count toward education points on their initial CFRE certification and recertification applications.

     My Education Finder      Approved Providers      


Ensure your continuing education efforts count toward CFRE certification. Search My Education Finder to discover pre-approved education opportunities (i.e., webinars, workshops, conferences, online courses, etc.) from Approved Providers.

My Education Finder

How it Works

  1. Open My Education Finder and search by topic, date, format, provider, etc.
  2. Verify the number of education points provided. 
  3. Record completed activities in your My CFRE application.

What You'll Find

In-person, virtual (live), and on-demand education opportunities from Approved Providers across the globe.

Keep Records

Always keep documentation of completed continuing education opportunities for your records.

Approved Providers

Approved Providers are organizations that have submitted their programs to CFRE International for review to verify that our continuing education standards are met. They will appear in My Education Finder and may promote CFRE point eligibility in their materials.

Only providers who have registered programs with CFRE International may advertise that the programs have been pre-approved for continuing education points on the initial CFRE certification and recertification applications.
