CAFS Tutorial and Exam
The Certified Air Filter Specialist (CAFS) program distinguishes those professionals who have demonstrated a thorough, up-to-date understanding of air filtration technology and high level of professionalism. To become certified, air filtration professionals must pass an extensive examination on the principles, methods and applications of air filtration. Join Hunter Most, CAFS for a 2-hour tutorial and Q&A focused on the individual chapters to the NAFA Guide to Air Filtration (NAFA Guide). Hunter will take questions and engage in a deep dive into the pertinent subject matter focusing on the areas that will be covered during the CAFS exam. Successful completion of the exam requires three things: study and understand the NAFA Guide to Air Filtration; have at least one-year’s field experience and participate in the 2-hour tutorial. When purchasing products or services from a Certified Air Filter Specialist, customers are assured that their particular requirements and needs will be addressed by a knowledgeable professional.
The 100 question (70 multiple choice, 30 true/false) CAFS Exam is based on the NAFA Guide to Air Filtration. In fact, every question comes straight out of the book! If you study the manual thoroughly you should have no problem passing the exam. We also recommend that you have at least one year of field experience in the air filter industry. NAFA does offer a series of recordings to help you study, however, if you have not read and understood the NAFA Guide to Air Filtration, you will probably not pass the exam.
