Pre-Conference CDFM Training Mini-Courses

Intense coverage of Modules 1, 2, and 3 of the Enhanced Defense Financial Management Training Course (EDFMTC) will be held on Monday and Tuesday, May 25 & 26. Each 1-day mini-course will have a highly qualified instructor with extensive experience teaching the 5-day EDFMTC. These sessions are intended for those who: (1) are enrolled in the CDFM Program, (2) have completed a significant amount of exam preparation, and (3) wish to “top off” their knowledge prior to taking the exam at the PDI. Each one of the modules will be offered on Monday and Tuesday. Only one of the modules may be chosen on a given day. You will be in control when it comes to deciding which modules to attend. Separate registration for these pre-conference sessions is required and will cost an additional fee of $250 per module. You must have a copy of the 2013 textbook to participate. Textbooks can be purchased beforehand and brought to the PDI (recommended), or can be purchased at the PDI.

Make CDFM Testing Reservations at PDI 2015!

May 26 – May 29

ASMC will hold testing sessions Tuesday through Friday, May 26 – 29, 2015. Any of the 4 CDFM module exams can be taken and exams can be taken in any order. Space may be limited, so please sign up early. (We encourage you to test on Tuesday or Wednesday, if possible, as past experience shows that Thursday and Friday exam slots are usually 100% subscribed and not available for “last minute” scheduling.)

Select only the number of testing slots you need for the number of exams you plan to take. Please be courteous to your peers and only reserve test slots that you are committed to utilize.
