Earn Your ProFM Credential and Advance Your Facilities Management Career!

Now is a great time to ensure you are prepared to meet the demands of the ever-changing roles and needs of your organization and stay abreast of the current issues of the facilities management industry.

 

BridgeValley Community & Technical College (BVCTC) is providing an accelerated path to earn your ProFM certification. Facilities Management continues to be a high-demand career because of the following industry trends: 

  • Experienced facility professionals are retiring and leaving a gap in expertise.

  • Fewer than 2% of the 3.2 million FM professionals in the US hold an FM credential.

  • Expectations and roles of FMs are becoming more strategic, analytic, and focused on the company’s core business mission.

  • FM employers are looking for the facility professionals to broaden their skill set to fill the gap.

  • There is no global standard, identifying today’s required FM knowledge and skills.

BVCTC has partnered with ProFMI® to offer an important Facilities Management credential in an accessible format. Because the ProFM credential is designed to be universally applicable, you will benefit as a facility professional and help advance your career in the field of Facilities Management.

 

The ProFM Body of Knowledge

The ProFM Body of Knowledge defines the 19 functional FM knowledge areas and five cross-functional competencies required of today's facility professionals.

Build a strong, dynamic Facilities Management Team

BVCTC and ProFM’s classes are designed to be totally inclusive, and allow for entire departments or individual facility professionals. You will not only eliminate any knowledge gaps that may exist on your team, you will also develop the key skills necessary to keep your organization moving forward in today's environment and tomorrow's challenges.

The ProFM credential will:

  • Expand your facilities management skills and knowledge base,

  • Immediately allow you to apply the very latest best practices to your current role,

  • Help develop your strategic business skills, which benefits your entire organization,

  • Differentiate and distinguish yourself from your peers in facilities management, and

  • Build confidence in your leadership and decision-making skills

Our program provides numerous ways of navigating the changing facilities management industry by showing you how to evaluate staff and train employees. You will also be able to identify the right skills in new hires to ensure they will help your team achieve success.
