Facilities Management, Higher Apprenticeship

UPDATED 20161028 14:16:50

What will I do during this apprenticeship? This apprenticeship framework has been designed to provide a progression route for those joining Facilities Management (FM) at levels 2 and 3. It also provides an entry point and work based progression for those with A levels and BTECs. It allows Facilities Managers to expand their knowledge base and develop critical thinking skills. There are two routes; a generic or soft services route and a building services or hard services route. Both levels consist of Higher Education qualifications and qualifications offered by the British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM). FM involves providing a quality and cost effective maintenance and care service for a wide range of commercial and public buildings, such as hotels, hospitals, office and shopping complexes, arenas, educational or convention centres. Facilities Managers make sure that facilities such as security, catering and cleaning (referred to as 'soft services') and maintenance and building services (referred to as 'hard services') run smoothly, so that customers can run their businesses efficiently. You will usually come in to College one day per week to learn about the technical side of Facilities Management. How will I be assessed? We will assess your practical skills and observe you at work. A personal assessor will visit you in your workplace to review your progress and make sure you are on target to get your qualifications. What options do I have after successfully completing? Progress to Management, Level 5. Job/career opportunities A career as a facilities/estates manager.
