Program Description:

This training program is designed to give you no-nonsense facility management techniques, strategies and methods that you can use immediately.

That means you won't be listening to any boring lectures full of meaningless fluff or textbook theories. Rather, you'll participate in thought-provoking exercises and discussions built to give you the hard-hitting skills, real-world insight and valuable know-how that you need to handle your job with confidence.

You'll take part in a job-bid tutorial, a facility hazard analysis, a forum on getting more work done every busy day, and more. Plus, you'll also have an opportunity to discuss problems, share your own hard-won solutions, and establish valuable contacts with your peers.
