The Certified Facility Manager (CFM) credential sets the industry standard for ensuring knowledge and abilities of practicing facility managers.  The certification process is designed to assess competence in the field through work experience, education and the ability to pass a comprehensive exam.  Since the program began in 1992, more than 3100 facility managers from 32 countries have achieved this prestigious recognition.  For more details on the CFM credential, click on this link.  For a complete list of the CFM's in the San Diego Chapter, please scroll down this page.  Every three years CFM's need to submit documentation to IFMA to justify renewal of their CFM status.  To download these two documents to your computer, click on Document 1 and Document 2.
 

IFMA recognized the need for a designation for entry-level and transitioning facility professionals who do not yet have the hands-on experience required for obtaining the CFM.   A knowledge-based credential, the Facility Management Professional (FMP) is designed to accelerate an FM’s transition into the profession.  For more details on the FMP credential, click on this link.  For a complete list of FMP's in the San Diego Chapter, please scroll down this page.
