Steps
Review the CFS program description on the NSPS site under its certification programs section (nsps.us.com).
Note the NSPS Certified Floodplain Surveyor Training & Certification Program dates (January 14-16, 2026) and the National Academy for NSPS Certified Floodplain Surveyors (July 29-August 1, 2026).
Confirm prerequisite licensure (active state PLS/PS license) before registering, since CFS is a post-licensure credential, not a standalone license.
Cross-reference FEMA's own Elevation Certificate competency expectations, since CFS training is explicitly built around correctly completing FEMA floodplain surveying deliverables.
Register through the NSPS eStore/events page rather than a third-party CE aggregator to guarantee the credential is recognized.
Known gotchas
CFS is an NSPS credential, not a FEMA-issued certification — FEMA does not certify individual surveyors, only accepts properly completed Elevation Certificates from state-licensed professionals.
Session dates shift year to year; always confirm the current-year schedule rather than relying on a cached event list.
