About the changes to the FMP Program as of August 31, 2019:
As part of IFMA's ongoing process to keep IFMA credentials relevant, a practice analysis for the Facility Management Professional™ (FMP®) was recently completed. Based on the Global Job Task Analysis, this review identified the core knowledge, skills and abilities all emerging facility professionals need to have to lead and align their facility operations with organizational objectives. Although the study determined that, overall, IFMA's content in these four areas remains highly relevant, it also identified opportunities to further enhance the courses.
IFMA has releasing the updated materials and program in
September 2019.
