All CFLEs, whether Provisional or Full status, must pay the CFLE Annual fee. The CFLE Annual fee is due each year, in the month in which the CFLE was first certified (their anniversary month).

CFLEs with Provisional status must upgrade to Full Certification within five years of approval by documenting work experience in family life education. Provisional CFLEs should submit upgrade materials as close as possible to their anniversary month to avoid double paying the CFLE Annual fee, which is included in the Upgrade fee.

CFLEs with Full Certification must recertify every five years by submitting evidence of 100 hours of continuing education activity.
