Eligibility to earn the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential is based upon a point system, which awards credit for education and experience.
You must have a minimum of two years of fraud-related professional experience and 50 points. When calculating education points, they must be from a recognized institution of higher learning. View a list of approved professional certifications and credentials that count toward eligibility points.
If your total qualifying points are 40 or above, you may apply for the CFE Exam. However, all applicants must have 50 or more points and two years of professional experience to earn the CFE after passing the exam.
