Qualifications v experience:
what our students say

Would not hesitate in recommending Xenon and would encourage attendance on the workshops as against distance learning, Value isn’t always monetary.

The Xenon Team are a breath of fresh air. Their experience and genuine interest in your success should fall into the "Money can't buy" category, fortunately you can buy it, and for a very reasonable price.

Qualifications or experience: what's more important in the facilities management sector?

Experienced facilities professionals with both an impressive CV and tales of FM triumphs and disasters have long claimed that it's experience that really matters in facilities management. The role of the facilities manager is so varied, practical and hands-on that only in-depth experience can get you to the top. They argue that FM is not something that you can learn in the classroom, it's more about learning on-the- job from others.

But at the same time a growing number of new facilities professionals are taking formal qualifications in FM from Masters degrees at university to the ILM level 3 or British Institute of Facilities Management's Level 4,5 and 6. They argue that tailored Facilities Management training and qualifications offer practical advice in a structured format to support them in their jobs and give them knowledge and skills that they can immediately apply in their workplaces.

But why should you have to choose between qualifications and experience? Study for a facilities management qualification with Xenon, and you benefit from the education and the prestige of a leading facilities management qualification accredited by the BIFM and the many years' experience of both your knowledgeable tutors and the know-how and skills of your fellow students. You get the best of both worlds.
