Frequently Asked Questions
Download the FMP Brochure (.pdf)


I am a member of my local IFMA chapter, but I am not able to attend IFMA conferences to take courses. Do you have any information on other opportunities to take courses?

Local chapters can offer approved courses for the FMP. Please contact your local chapter to discuss your courses of interest and their upcoming schedule.


Where can I find the application for the FMP?

Applications for the FMP can be found online. For more information or to receive an application by mail, please visit our guestbook or call 713-623-4362.


How long do I have to complete the FMP process once I begin?

Once you complete your initial application for becoming an FMP, you must finish the required coursework within three years. If you do not complete the coursework within that timeframe, you will be required to repeat the application process.


What does one credit equal?

IFMA recognizes one credit as 15 contact hours of instruction. Courses submitted to IFMA for credit will be reviewed based on this criteria. This one credit can be split between two topics under one area. For example, under the Managing the Facility area you could take 7.5 hours of Real Estate and 7.5 hours of Finance. The 15 hours can only be split in half for IFMA’s online courses and you must show a completed assessment for each course that you take.


Can I take any seminar at my chapter/council meeting and apply it as credit toward the FMP?

Unfortunately, no. The FMP requires that you complete a course that has been structured to test what you have learned. Since most seminars are informational only and do not provide an assessment or test at the end, they will not qualify for credit towards the FMP.


Do I have to provide IFMA with an official transcript of courses that I want to submit for credit?

No, a copy of your official transcript will be sufficient. Please be sure to provide a short syllabus or course description for each course that you are submitting for credit.

For more information, please contact certification@ifma.org.
