Maintain Your Professional Growth Through the
Facility Management Professional Program
IFMA’s Facility Management Professional (FMP) designation is a knowledge-based
credential demonstrating a proven comprehension of the
basics of facility management. A springboard for obtaining
certification, the
FMP designation will help to accelerate an FM's transition into the profession.
"The FMP is a great way for IFMA
to reach out to new professionals. It is
very comforting to be accepted into a family
like IFMA when starting a career in the
facilities industry. There is something
very reassuring to know that there are other
people in the world that are facing the
same obstacles, problems, and issues that
you are. There may even be someone out there
who has found a solution to a problem that
is similar to yours. In a field that is
very weighted towards experience, the FMP
somewhat represents a leveling factor. Experience
is key in the facilities field, but knowledge
is becoming more prominent throughout the
industry. The FMP recognizes individuals
who possess the knowledge to be successful
facility professionals."
