Overview & Modules

Facilities Management (FM) involves providing a quality and cost effective maintenance and care service for a wide range of commercial and public buildings, such as hotels, hospitals, office and shopping complexes, arenas, educational or convention centres. Facilities Managers make sure that facilities such as security, catering and cleaning (referred to as “soft services’”) and maintenance and building services (referred to as “hard services”) run smoothly, so that customers can run their businesses efficiently. The sector is also responsible for property and estates management, including energy management and environmental protection.

The qualification is achieved through a mix of learning in the workplace, formal off the job training (at college) and the opportunity to practice and embed new skills in a real work context. On completion, you must be able to undertake the full range of duties, appropriate to your job, confidently and competently to the standard set by the Industry.

How will I be assessed?

Entry requirements

Applicants will be expected to have basic literacy and numeracy skills, and be willing to work as part of a team and have a keen interest in providing high standards of customer service.

There are no minimum requirements and formal qualifications are not necessary, but employers are keen to hear from applicants who have experience in related sectors such as catering, cleaning, customer service, construction, engineering and hospitality.
