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.
