“The certified facility manager (CFM) credential sets the industry standard for ensuring the knowledge and competence of practising facility managers”

CFM certification refers to the Certified Facility Manager credential that building managers can obtain from the International Facility Management Association (IFMA). Employers and clients recognise the value of the CFM certification because it proves that a facility manager has the proper knowledge and training to deal with increasingly complex building management issues. Both training and experience are required before a facility manager can take the CFM exam. The CFM certification for facility managers is in no way connected with the CFM designation that was formerly administered to accountants and financial professionals by the Institute of Management Accountants.
