Why get Certified through AHAF?
We are world-recognized for our standards of excellence in our certification program and continuing education pursuits. The American Handwriting Analysis Foundation works diligently to bring all graphologists up to our standards, no matter what school of graphology from which they came. We offer to help with the continuing education needs of our membership. We provide a Code of Ethics that all members follow. And, we offer a peer-review Certification. Our Certification testing ensures that the members meet strict eligibility criteria, and a rigorous exam evaluating all skills of analysis, synthesis, and report writing. |

Becoming professionally certified by AHAF is a process to ensure the public that our certified members are competent representatives of the handwriting sciences, and of our organization. To maintain certification, members must meet continuing education requirements and renew their certified status every five years.
Unlike certification diplomas, earned when you have completed a course in graphology, AHAF certification is peer review. That means that other certified graphologists from all schools of learning will anonymously evaluate to ensure that that you know the fundamentals of graphology, can apply them in evaluating a handwriting specimen, and can develop these findings expressed in a report designated for a select purpose. Its a tough exam, but one that thoroughly evaluates your abilities as meeting our respected standards.
