Essentials of FM
A workshop series to help those who are new to the field of FM
Essentials of Facility Management
Learn the language of FM through the Essentials of Facility Management, a workshop series to help those who are new to the field of FM, such as a new hire or to standardize the language across teams. These workshops focus on basic concepts that describe the field of FM and how it can be of value to an organization. The primary goal of these workshops is to address the participant’s role in the tactical planning for how to schedule and accomplish daily FM tasks that support the operations of an organization’s facilities.
IFMA’s Essentials of Facility Management Workshop series is designed to help newcomers to the field understand the language and basic concepts of Facility Management (FM) as well as the facility manager’s (FM’s) role in the tactical planning, scheduling, and accomplishment of daily FM tasks. Successful completion of all three training workshops will grant an electronic certificate of completion.
