Academy CFT Administration Process

Your CFA examination may be administered by any physical education teacher, Service Academy Liaison Officer or JROTC Instructor. Any active duty commissioned officer may administer the CFA for service members. It is your responsibility to arrange for a qualified person to conduct your examination. Once you are ready to take the test give your examiner the CFA Score Sheet you printed from your online status page and ask them to record your performance on the CFA Score Sheet. The examiner returns the Score Sheet to you for entry into the online CFA form
