IFMA started working with UW Professional & Continuing Education and BOMA to build a long-term strategy for cultivating the pipeline of facility managers in order to meet the growing needs of the workforce.
Our next step will be to establish a working group with key stakeholders in the region. This collaboration is still in the early stages but if you are interested in joining this working group please email Bob Tribo at tribobob@amazon.com.

The South Seattle College Bachelor of Sustainable Science Technology faculty has received permission to continue a pilot program in the Spring Quarter for individuals to enroll in
SBST 422 Facility Management (4 credits), a course previously only available to cohort students. This course is a comprehensive overview of the field, especially for those considering taking the CFM exam. It is also an excellent course for senior staff members who are supervising facility managers, and may not have a background in this discipline.
This deeper dive into Facility Management is offered in a hybrid format; 80% online and 20% at four Saturday meetings at the Georgetown campus during the Spring quarter (April 1 - June 14, 2019). The course is taught by CFM Exam Review course IFMA Instructor
Victoria Hardy, CFM and ASHRAE Associate. It utilizes the definitive textbook on this subject,
The Facility Management Handbook, written by IFMA practitioners. And the best news is that the total tuition and fees are modest (under $1,000!).
