About the Study Group
This is not a workshop to teach you about the items that are covered on the ASBO Certified Administrator of School Finance and Operations (SFO®) exam. Rather, the purpose of this session is to review the topics covered by the exam and provide examples of exam questions that you might encounter. Further, because this is a national certification program and exam, there is no Wisconsin specific information. This course is designed to be a general overview.
The format for the presentation is predominantly a power point presentation put together by ASBO International. We will supplement this presentation with small group discussion, large group discussion, and practice test questions.
SFO® Certification Program initial application fees will be waived for participants of this WASBO sponsored ASBO SFO® Study Group. This is a $150 value for ASBO International Members and a $225 value for non ASBO International members.
