Which membership type is right for me?
Anyone interested in becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner
should apply for Associate Membership. Associate Membership provides the same
benefits as CFE Membership and is a prerequisite for applying for the CFE Exam.
College students in their third or final year of their
Bachelors degree should consider the Student Associate program. Professors or
teaching staff at a university or college should consider the Educator
Associate program.
If you do not meet the qualifications necessary to apply for
Associate Membership, but could still benefit from an affiliation with the
Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, you may consider the Affiliate
Program.

anti-fraud professional, by becoming an Association Member, you'll experience
growth in your career and gain the skills you need.
