The Association of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners, AFTE, offers a certification program to qualified AFTE members. The purpose of the Association in presenting this program is two fold:

* To act toward the public benefit by attesting that successful applicants meet certain standards as defined by members of AFTE.

* To promote professionalism among firearm and toolmark examiners by establishing certification as a level of accomplishment.

Written examinations are offered to candidates at the Annual Training Seminar.

Written examinations are offered to candidates through our On-Line Testing Portal four times a year.
