What it costs
Issuer fees change yearly. LifeSafetyWiki never republishes a fee we can’t verify against the source — when in doubt, the issuer’s portal is the source of truth.
CHFM recert fee is set by AHA Certification Center and differs for ASHE members vs non-members. Verify current amount before paying.
