Associate Members
Associate Members (AFPM) are individuals who have shown technical competency by completing an AFPM course provided by an approved Education Provider. They also need to abide by the Association’s Professional Responsibilities and Code of Ethics.
Associate members must complete 20 hours of Continuing Education (CE) every two years in order to renew their AFPM licence.
Excess credits acquired in one reporting period cannot be carried over to another reporting period.
Continuing Education Audit
Random audits will be conducted to ensure that Associate members fulfill their continuing education requirement.
Members selected for the CE audits will be required to complete the CE report and submit proof of CE activities participation.
Associates members are therefore required to keep supporting documentation in the event they are audited or to show proof of attendance.
