The North Carolina Association of Floodplain Managers has established a state program for professional certification of floodplain managers. The program recognizes continuing education and professional development that enhance the knowledge and performance of local, state, federal and private-sector floodplain managers.

The CFM examination is "closed book" and is held in a proctored classroom environment. All examinations will be pass/fail and the results will be held in strict confidence. NCAFPM requires that 70% of the answers be correct in order to earn a passing grade. Please see below for a study guide.
