Considerations
- Applications that include only a postgraduate degree will not be accepted, as a high school diploma or bachelor’s degree is required for admission.
- Postgraduate degrees will be recorded once you have been admitted to the CFIA, as an update to your academic profile.
- Graduates from two universities must meet all the requirements for each academic degree.
- If you submit only your bachelor’s degree certificate, you must also submit a transcript of courses completed and the curriculum for your entire academic program (high school and bachelor’s degree). If the transcript you submit includes courses that have been credited, recognized, or deemed equivalent, you must meet the requirements established for that purpose.
- Degrees obtained from foreign universities must bear the consular seals and those of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Worship, as specified in Article 67 of the Consular Service Law No. 46 of junio 7 junio , or must be duly apostilled in accordance with the provisions of Law 8923; and the original and a photocopy of the certification of recognition and equivalence must be submitted.

En caso de ser aprobada la solicitud, la incorporación ante el CFIA rige a partir de su juramentación ante la Junta Directiva General.
“…Article 23.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: ‘Everyone has the right to work, to the free choice of employment, to just and favorable conditions of work, and to protection against unemployment.’”
This widespread recognition of work as an inalienable right takes for granted its significance in that it dignifies the individual; and, in its deepest sense, it is the expression of human beings’ creative and service-oriented capacities. Ultimately, this is the “way” in which humanity transforms its environment for its own benefit.
Es mediante el compromiso ético que lleva a pertenecer a un colegio profesional, que se encuentra un fundamento sólido para el ejercicio profesional. Este no solo es necesario sino suficiente, pues la adhesión voluntaria, como producto de una toma de conciencia sobre la responsabilidad que se tiene, supera con creces la necesidad de invocar con exclusividad a un fundamento coercitivo o uno que apela a la conveniencia, y es más, hace que los mismos encuentran su verdadero sentido.
¿Porqué, entonces incorporarse y participar activamente en un colegio profesional, para sustentar el ejercicio de una profesión?. La respuesta es una: porque es lo correcto y por eso, en el CFIA, se hace un juramento de honor ante Dios, ante la Patria y ante el Colegio Profesional…” Ing. Daniel Hernández Jiménez.
In accordance with the provisions of the Organic Law of the CFIA, the only individuals authorized to perform work related to engineering and architecture are those who are members of the CFIA, pursuant to the provisions of Articles 9 and 12 of the aforementioned Organic Law.
