Presented in partnership with XL Global Asset Protection Services, LLC and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
SFPE supports the overall initiative of increasing the education level and credentials of all who work in the fire protection field. Fire protection engineers routinely engage with a broad range of professionals, and elevating the overall knowledge level and stature of all involved better serves the broader needs of society. While the CFPS does not constitute any part of the requirements for Professional Engineering licensure, SFPE possesses a great deal of knowledge on the subject of fire protection which can play an important role in the success of those pursuing the CFPS credential.
