Become a Certified Electroplater-Finisher (CEF)

Work Towards Obtaining Master Surface Finisher (MSF)

The AESF Foundation offers all core and optional courses for anyone interested in the "Master Surface Finisher" (MSF) certification program, in addition to the exam for "Certified Electroplater-Finisher" (CEF) certification. In order to achieve CEF certification, parts one and two of the Electroplating and Surface Finishing exam must be passed. Ideally, if an individual were to start with being a CEF, the logical progression up through CEF levels would be as follows:

Steps to Certification

CEF Upon successful completion of Electroplating and Surface Finishing (Parts 1 and 2) exam

CEF-2 Upon successful completion of CEF exam plus one core or optional exam

CEF-3 Upon successful completion of CEF exam plus two core or optional exams

CEF-4 Upon successful completion of CEF exam plus three core or optional exam combinations

CEF-5 Upon successful completion of CEF exam plus four core or optional exam combinations

MSF Upon successful completion of four core exams plus two optional exams.

Note: If english is your second language, additional time will be given to complete exams and you will be allowed to use a translation dictionary
