The mission of the Institute of Certified Franchise Executives™ (ICFE) is to certify and educate individuals and organizations to the highest standards. Certification speaks to a higher standard of professionalism and raises the bar for franchise training as a whole.

What is the Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) program?

Participants in the Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) program complete an impressive array of course offerings in franchise management, leadership, and small business operations and growth in order to gain insight into franchise strategy. The program helps individuals at emerging organizations learn how to run a small business while helping more established leaders understand how to successfully cultivate a growing enterprise.

Our own Denise Radcliff, CFE, offers her insights: “I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started the program. One of the requirements is attending a certain number of IFA sponsored conferences and those proved to be invaluable. I met so many interesting people from different backgrounds and experiences. The conference speakers provided a wealth of knowledge and my tablemates provided great discussions on the topics from their unique perspectives. The experience was a game changer!”
