How Much Will It Cost to Apply for the Program and Take the Exam?
SFO® Fees
There are three sets of fees: application, exam, and
renewal.
1. The application fee is $150 for ASBO International members or $225
for non-members.
2. The exam fees are $195 for Part 1: Accounting and $295 for
Part 2: School Business Management; each registration fee
includes a five-month authorization to test window.
3. Once certified, the SFO annual renewal fee is $125, due when the
renewal application is submitted at the end of each one-year period.
The certification period is for three years. At the end of that time,
certificants are required to submit a recertification application; no
additional fees are collected at this time.
Refer to the Candidate Handbook for special circumstances, such
as exam re-takes, missed test dates, etc.
