Professional Certification is an important step in the career track of leaders in all industries. It enhances professional stature among one’s peers; recognizes those who have gone beyond expectations to be the best that they can be; and makes a statement to those with whom we do business.
With so many things on pause at the moment, perhaps now is the time to push 'play' on your IFEA Certified Festival & Event Executive (CFEE) Certification, sponsored by IFEA Association Endorsed Partner, Kaliff Insurance!
Although our in-person classes are on pause for 2020, we're excited to be able to offer our CFEE Core Curriculum Classes, virtually this Fall! Program electives are also available virtually, through our IFEA Online Webinars.
Don’t let the COVID-19 pandemic slow you down in taking the next step to advance your career - make 2020 the year you start (or finish) your IFEA CFEE Certification!
