OUSD(C) Accepts the CDFM™ as an Alternative to DFMCP Certification
In January 2021, the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense released a Policy Memorandum announcing the CDFM as one of five professional certifications that can serve as an “Alternative Professional Certification” to any of the three DFMCP certification levels. This exception to policy means you can now “present and maintain” the CDFM to meet any of the three DFMCP certification levels—earning the CDFM gives you a transferable, test-based credential that can be used anywhere in Federal service or the private sector!
