British Institute of Facilities Management Level 6 Certificate England, United Kingdom

Course details

This BIFM course is intended for senior fm managers who are working in mid to upper management levels in a broader facilities management sector and who wish to enhance their specialist and management skills. Applicants at this level would normally have budgetary responsibility as part of their role. The delivery for this programme makes it possible for learners to enrol at convenient points in the year when a new unit starts. 

Study

The lectures and workshops are provided one evening per week for the number of weeks quoted. These are interactive lecturer led sessions, where learners are expected to share their experiences with the group. Whilst documentation will be provided, learners are required to purchase and study the books shown on the reading list. Learners may also need to develop new skills, such as analysis, communication and a range of presentation methods. The workshops will focus on both subject information and skills necessary to support the assignments. Attending all of the college sessions will generally not be adequate for individuals to complete the programme or units. Learners must expect to frequently allocate a significant amount of their own time in order to research, prepare, edit, finalise and submit assignments in order to be successful.

Commencing study

The Course is operated on a roll-on roll-off basis. Subject to agreement with the Course Leader, applicants may commence their studies at the first week of any new unit. This means that access to the course is not restricted to one or two occasions in the year.
