The role of the Facility Manager has evolved over time. So has the scope of traditional responsibilities Facility Managers perform. FMs play an increasingly critical and important role in the overall success of the entire organization.

The ProFM™ Credential is the most significant advancement in years supporting the FM profession and the success of its members. We are pleased to announce you can earn your industry recognized ProFM™ Credential at De Anza College!

The ProFM™ Credential fills in knowledge and experience gaps that exist between the traditional role of the FM and the current and future direction of the Facility Management profession. ProFM™ stands apart from other Facility Management credential programs for a number of reasons:

  • Relevant & Current: The ProFM™ Body of Knowledge, developed in 2017, is the most current and relevant standard for facility professionals. It goes beyond the traditional definition of FM to reflect all of the knowledge and skills required of today’s facility professionals.
  • Comprehensive: The ProFM™ credential is based on the ProFM Body of Knowledge which includes 19 functional areas and 5 cross-functional competencies (see below) that have never before been combined together into ONE COMPLETE CREDENTIAL PROGRAM!
  • Applicable: ProFM™ focuses not only on enhancing your knowledge, but also building practical skills to impact your job immediately.
  • Global: ProFM’s™ Body of Knowledge reflects the globalization of the FM industry from the incorporation of global FM ISO 41000 standards, the perspective of international ProFMI Commission members, and input from facility professionals in 93 countries.
  • Independent: ProFM™ was developed by facility professionals, for facility professionals. Respected FM thought leaders, employers, and working professionals came together with the common goal of elevating and uniting the FM profession.

*********************************************************************

"THE ALL IN ONE" ProFM™ Credential addresses the FOUR Functional FM Knowledge Areas and FIVE Cross Functional Competencies required of today’s FM or Building Professionals. It is the most complete, up-to-date and comprehensive FM Credential available anywhere!
