Aim of the course

The FMP is an intensive five-day (5) course structured to serve all built environment practitioners offered in collaboration with Higher Education Institutions (HEI) and with the South African Property Owner Association (SAPOA). A practice orientated assignment has to be submitted within two months after classroom attendance of the course. The FMP is aimed at people in first and middle management positions, structured to enhance innovative thinking and entrepreneurship. It is not recipe based, but strongly focussed on innovation and career development. We learn people to think! Private sector practitioners as well as the public sector have substantially benefitted from this course over the years. More than 1 300 delegates, including many persons from other countries, have attended this course, assisted to follow a lucrative FM career path.

Facilities Management is a rapidly growing built environment career, which offers numerous and diverse job opportunities. Prepare to get your slice of the action!

Structure & Contents

The FMP has been structured to provide delegates with a thorough understanding of facilities management and the application thereof in practice.

Assessment

As part of our ongoing quality assurance, candidates take part in the following:
• A short open book “Knowledge Gained Survey” on the final day of the programme
• Compilation and submission of a practical and own workplace applicable assignment two months after completion of the course.
• The course content is extensive, but delegates receive comprehensive study material for utilisation when preparing the assignment, and for future career development.

Certification

A certificate of competence is issued to delegates who have taken part in the knowledge survey and completed the assignment successfully. A certificate of attendance is issued to other delegates. In terms of the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC) Framework for Delegated Functions, Higher Education Institutions (HEI) have the authority to quality assure its own Short Learning Programmes (SLPs) and the certification is thus also SAQA compliant.

It has a proven track record that demonstrates career enhancement for persons on all levels who are responsible for the management of facilities of all types.
