This National Flood Insurance Program Review Course is a free, no-cost training for New Jersey municipal, county, and state officials, as well as the general public, looking to expand their knowledge of floodplain management and obtain their Certified Floodplain Manager (CFM) certification. This course was developed and sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Bureau of Flood Engineering.
This course closely follows the FEMA480 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Floodplain Management Requirements: Study Guide and Desk Reference for Local Officials (February 2005). The course duration is about a month and features three in-person instructional days to complement online self-paced learning with two days focused on the NFIP and a third day focused on NJ requirements. Students can arrange to take the CFM exam virtually. This course will be held at numerous locations in NJ from November 2023 through summer 2025. Pre-registration will be required through NJAFM’s website http://www.njafm.org/ prior to the start of the course. Although this course is open to the general public, priority will be given to government officials when registering.
The following is a tentative schedule for this National Flood Insurance Program Review Course, developed and sponsored by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Bureau of Flood Engineering.
