American Board of Forensic Anthropology, Inc. (ABFA) · Current issuer-linked Analyst & Diplomate Competencies Assessed on Certification Exams, effective July 17, 2024; Diplomate column, including inherited Analyst competencies. Checked October 10, 2026. The workbook's generic label is mapped editorially to the ABFA Diplomate examination, whose traditional format ended in 2025 and whose redesigned examination is scheduled for January 2028. It is not an official separate examination title. The Analyst examination is a distinct prerequisite and is not substituted here. Detailed Diplomate logistics remain under development; domain percentages are not stated.
