Employers, recruiters and industry experts seeing the value of FM Qualifications
Michael Hewlett, Ops Director at FM recruitment practice Maxwell Stephens, recently posted an article on his company website emphasising the increasing number of employers that are specifying a requirement for accredited FM Qualifications. His opinions were backed up by a number of leading figures in the FM Industry. Michael has kindly agreed to let us post a copy of the article here.
Bringing some clarity to FM Qualifications
Two years into the new BIFM Qualifications and there remains some confusion over which course prospective students should enrol on and perhaps more importantly, which level.
The qualifications are offered at Level 4, 5 and 6 with the ILM also offering a Level 3 qualification and there are many individuals and many organisations who are still unclear of how the levels equate to other, more well-known qualifications such as ‘A’ Levels, HNDs and degrees. For those who have got their heads around the level, there remains a significant number who then are uncertain which level they should enrol on to.
