Are you interested in becoming a CBO? Once you have completed either the CFM, you only have to pass the Building Codes and Standards (BC) exam. You do not have to fulfill this requirement within the 18 months as long your existing CFM certification is current. And because ICC allows certification exam attempts up to 6 times in a 6-month period, you'll have plenty of opportunities to take an exam.

The certification has an education level of an Associates of Arts or Associates of Sciences degree or higher and has a work experience requirement of more than 2 years, or requires obtaining a ‘core’ level certification from the same organization.
