The IAFE Institute of Fair Management (IFM) Certification Tracks are specialized, continuing education programming for IFM graduates. This senior level coursework is presented through varying methods of instruction CyberSeminar, Instructor-led, Case Study and Service-Learning Projects. 

Upon completion, the enrollee will become “certified” in the respective track completion. They will receive a certificate of accomplishment valid for five years.  Every five years a minimum of three approved continuing education courses are required to maintain “Certified Status.” The individual will then be re-certified for an additional five years receiving an updated certificate. Continuing education courses are offered through the IAFE at the Annual Conventions, management conferences, zone meetings, and other IAFE events.
