What Are CFM and FMP Credentials?
Members of the International Facility Management Association developed a voluntary certification program in order to create a definition of facilities management competence and a mechanism to measure that competence.
Facility Management Professional (FMP)
The Facility Management Professional (FMP) credential is designed for facility professionals looking to build and strengthen their knowledge and skills. It provides practical education across four key areas of facility management, Operations & Maintenance, Project Management, Finance & Business, and Leadership & Strategy, helping professionals build a strong foundation for career growth and future leadership opportunities.
Certified Facility Manager (CFM)
