Shorten the road to the CFM credential

Have your sights set on CFM certification? Reduce your experience requirement by up to three years with the FMP.

The FMP will bring you one step closer to achieving your CFM credential, the most respected credential in facility management. Designed to hasten the progression from novice to specialist, the FMP is an ideal catalyst to early candidacy for the CFM. Individuals who achieve the FMP can meet the CFM eligibility requirements with a reduced amount of FM work experience.

CFM education requirements with and without the FMP credential:

Education	Number/years of FM experience WITH the FMP	Number/years of FM experience WITHOUT the FMP
Facility management master’s degree or IFMA Accredited Degree Program graduate	3 years	3 years
Related bachelor’s degree	3 years	4 years
