The ProFM credential provides facility managers with knowledge and skills beyond the traditional.
Connex is proud to become an Industry Partner with the Professional Facility Management Institute (ProFMI), the founding body and administrator of the ProFM credential.
After researching several different Facilities Management certification programs, it was determined ProFM was the best choice for Connex members as they continue their efforts to elevate their knowledge and reinforce their credibility.
“ProFM is an excellent credential for Connex members because of its quality, relevancy and value. The credential is a great addition to the education and resources Connex provides its members to advance their careers,” said Bill Yanek, CEO, Connex.
ProFM defines global FM standards and provides facility professionals with the knowledge and skills that have evolved beyond traditional FM responsibilities.
The ProFM credential is:
- Relevant & Current: The ProFM Body of Knowledge is the basis of the ProFM credential, and the most current, relevant standard for facility professionals.
- Comprehensive: It teaches 19 functional knowledge areas and five cross-functional competencies that have never been combined into one credential program.
- Applicable: It enhances industry knowledge and builds practical skills to impact facility performance.
- Global: It reflects the globalization of the industry, including global ISO 41000 standards, the perspectives of international ProFMI Commission members and input from 3,300 professionals in 93 countries.
- Independent: It was developed by facility professionals, for facility professionals. Respected FM industry thought leaders, employers and professionals came together with the common goal of elevating and uniting the FM profession.
“We are excited to be working with Connex to deliver the most comprehensive and up-to-date facility management training to its members. The ProFM credential was designed to prepare facility professionals for the increasingly complex demands they’re facing every day and to give them the recognition they deserve for their knowledge and skills,” said Stormy Friday, ProFMI Commission Chair.
While ProFM credentials elevate multi-site FM credibility, the Retail Facilities Management Professional (RFMP) Designation will always be recognized as a mark of excellence and proof of an individual’s commitment to continuous improvement in the retail FM industry.
