Steps

Go to americanfenceassociation.com/certifications to see the current certification catalog: Certified Fence Contractor (CFC), Certified Gate Automation Designer (CGAD), Certified Gate Automation Technician (CGAT), and Certified Operations Manager
Review the certification FAQ (americanfenceassociation.com/certifications/faq) for exam eligibility, renewal, and continuing-education requirements tied to each credential
For gate-automation-specific work (relevant to ASTM F2200/UL 325 compliance), confirm whether the installer holds CGAD (design) and/or CGAT (installation/service/troubleshooting) rather than assuming the general Certified Fence Contractor credential covers automated gates
Check AFA's education pathways page (americanfenceassociation.com/education) for the broader career-track curriculum a contractor may have completed beyond a single certification exam
Note upcoming FENCETECH event certification exam sessions (americanfenceassociation.com/page/certs) if you need to schedule or verify when/where a contractor sat for their exam
AFA does not appear to publish a public searchable directory/API of individually certified contractors — verify an individual's certification status by contacting AFA directly rather than expecting a self-serve lookup tool

Known gotchas

AFA offers multiple distinct certifications for different roles (contractor/owner vs. designer vs. technician vs. operations manager) — a 'AFA certified' claim should specify which credential, since they test different competencies
There is no confirmed public online directory or API to look up whether a specific named individual currently holds an AFA certification — treat this as a resource/requirements reference route, not a queryable dataset
AFA certification is a voluntary industry credential, not a government license — it does not substitute for state/local contractor licensing or permit requirements
