Why Study Facilities Management?

A career in facilities management could take you places you never dreamed possible.  Facilities managers play a somewhat ‘behind the scenes’ role, but nonetheless contribute to almost all essential business processes and activities.  The idea being that when facility management is effective, the organization runs smoothly, seamlessly and efficiently across all departments.  The field of facilities management concerns the appropriate and effective allocation of all assets and resources, while ensuring the organization’s overall infrastructure is suitably robust.  A complex and demanding field of high responsibility, facilities management can also be fulfilling and financially rewarding in equally high measures.

This intermediate Level 3 Certificate in Facilities Management makes the perfect starting point for newcomers, or anyone looking to brush up their FM knowledge and expertise.  Course content is delivered over a series of six modules, which conclude with online assessments your assigned tutor will mark and return with helpful feedback:

Module 1. Introduction to Successful Facility Management          

The first module sets out to define facilities management from a contemporary business perspective.  Candidates discuss the responsibilities and daily duties of facilities management personnel, along with the functions and objectives of the facilities management department.  Candidates also consider the skills, knowledge and character traits of the effective facilities manager.

Module 2. Operations and Maintenance     

Key facilities management operations and general maintenance tasks are discussed in the second module, which touches upon the advantages and disadvantages of outsourcing to third parties.  The role of marketing in facilities management is also discussed, alongside an introduction to effective and efficient move management.

Module 3. Vendor Management & Outsourcing   

Module three focuses on the establishment and maintenance of strong vendor relations, while furthering the discussion of outsourcing.  Candidates learn how to assess vendors using the vendor rating system, while considering several advantages and disadvantages of computerization.

Module 4. Facility Emergency Preparedness

The fourth module examines the responsibilities of facilities management personnel in emergency preparedness, along with the importance of planning ahead for all possible eventualities.  Learners consider the importance of approaching emergency planning as a continuous process, while discussing each of the three primary emergency categories and the potential consequences of poor emergency planning.

Module 5. Facility Security Management

A detailed introduction to facility security management follows in module five, which outlines the primary objectives of security management and the associated responsibilities of the facilities manager.  The four most important security planning areas are discussed, along with the role communication plays in security management and the effects technology has on general organizational security management.
