The primary purpose of certification is to ensure that persons employed in a given field meet high standards of performance. Certified professionals have completed a rigorous process to demonstrate they possess the competency necessary to provide quality services.

To earn an FCB credential, applicants must successfully complete the certification application and examination process. The FCB offers two main application routes: Standard and Provisional. The “standard” process is for individuals who have met all requirements before applying for certification. The “provisional” process is for those who have met education, training and testing requirements, but still need the on-the-job experience necessary for full certification. Applicants are encouraged to become familiar with the available application routes before beginning the certification process.
