đź“Ł New Certification Opportunities for Facial Identification Professionals đź“Ł

ASTM International has launched online written beta exams for two new professional certification programs:

🔹 ASTM Certified Facial Reviewer (CFR)

Designed for professionals performing image-to-image comparisons using morphological analysis, generally from a facial recognition system-generated candidate list.

🔹 ASTM Certified Facial Examiner (CFE)

Designed for Facial Examiners who conduct morphological analysis, comparison, and evaluation of facial images for the purpose of reaching an opinion, often in forensic applications.

These certification programs are an exciting step forward in helping demonstrate professional competence, elevate standards, advance careers, and strengthen public trust in facial identification and forensic facial comparison practices.
