The must-have credential for all facility management professionals and industry suppliers. IFMA's Facility Management Professional (FMP) designation is a knowledge-based credential that will help to accelerate an FM's transition in the profession and demonstrate a proven comprehension of the foundations of facility management.
The Chicago Chapter of IFMA is excited to offer an in-person opportunity to participate in the Facility Management Professional Credential Program. Through the Chapter’s commitment to its strategic vision of bringing new talent into the FM industry, as well as providing professional growth to current FMs, this initiative presents a one-of-a-kind opportunity for both IFMA members as well as non-IFMA members to achieve the FMP Credential with an instructor led FMP program.
