10. What Some CFPS Certificate Holders Say About CFPS: CFPS is the only worldwide recognized certification in the fire protection field CFPS certification raises the bar for so-called experts by placing an examination and continuing education performance requirements upon registrants. I feel it is a good complement to my professional engineering licensure.…. It signifies a thorough working knowledge of Fire Protection in vast majority of subjects, unlike any other certification. Initially for me, it was a job requirement. Today, it shows a higher level of competence should be expected from me, just as my PE designation does. The CFPS certification was actually the deciding factor in my hiring in at least two occasions.
