PD & Training

Throughout the year the FMA, in conjunction with industry stakeholders, develops a range of professional development and training courses.

Professional Development & Training

  • National seminar series: based on compliance and relevant topics designed specifically for the FM professional
  • One day training & customised courses: designed to enhance the development of competencies required for the FM professional and best practice techniques. These courses can also be customised to align with your organisation, its policies and using its case studies to enhance your team's understanding and skills application.
  • Workshops: these are held at least annually with a focus on an industry-specific topic.  
    Most recently have been the Energy Efficiency Workshop and the Maintenance Workshop.
  • Formal courses: these include the FMA developed Diploma of Facilities Management as well as a number of other courses available through tertiary education providers.
