CHFM Study Tool
Certified Health Care Facility Manager — based on the AHA CHFM 2024 Blueprint
CHFM Exam Prep
Based on the AHA CHFM 2024 exam blueprint — 5 domains covering CMS CoPs, TJC Physical Environment (PE), NFPA 101, NFPA 99, OSHA, ADA, utilities, fire safety, emergency management, and environmental safety.
Written against AHA CHFM 2024. Life Safety questions here follow NFPA 101 (2012), the edition CMS still enforces for Medicare/Medicaid-certified occupancies — which is often not the edition your state fire marshal enforces in the same building.
Exam Blueprint (5 Domains)
Your first try on this exam adds a flat +25. Harder credentials pay more — the full ladder runs Foundation → Technician → Professional → Flagship.
Certified Healthcare Facility Manager (CHFM)
The standard credential for hospital + healthcare facility directors. Heavy on the CMS-enforced NFPA 101 (2012), TJC Physical Environment chapters, and ASHE operations practice.
Pro tip from test-takers: Focus on CMS Conditions of Participation, TJC Physical Environment (PE) standards, NFPA 101 healthcare occupancy chapters, ILSM/ICRA procedures, and emergency generator testing requirements. Know your NFPA 99 risk categories and OSHA recordkeeping forms. The exam rewards practical facility management knowledge over memorized code sections.
