Q.
What are the credentials from AAFCS?
A. AAFCS offers one broad field credential and two
concentration credentials in family and consumer sciences:
- CFCS
- Certification in Family and Consumer Sciences
-
CFCS-HDFS
- Certification in Human Development and Family Studies
- CFCS-HNFS
- Certification in Hospitality, Nutrition, and Food Science
Those
who would like to obtain one of these credentials should sign up to
take a competency exam, pass the exam, and pay a fee.
CFCS, Retired - Effective September 1, 2005, there is a new
credential category called CFCS, Retired, available to those who are
already certified. Individuals who meet the AAFCS eligibility requirements
to be classified as “retired” may opt for the “retired”
category of CFCS professionals. To be eligible, a retiree must be 60
or more years of age, have met retirement guidelines at their place
of employment, and must no longer be gainfully employed; it is the responsibility
of the CFCS professional to request retired status for their CFCS credential.
The “CFCS, Retired” certification category allows maintenance
of the professional credential with no further requirement for reporting
ongoing professional development. Retirees who will continue to both
complete and report professional development units would continue their
active “CFCS” status. For more information on obtaining
and maintaining AAFCS credentials, contact the Office of Certification
at 703-706-4600, 800-424-8080, or certification@aafcs.org.
