Introduction to Property and Asset Maintenance in Facilities Management (online course)

< Back to course catalogue

Property and Asset maintenance is a fundamental part of Facilities Management – in fact, it’s often the first thing people think of when asked what FM is all about. Of course, we know there’s much more to FM than maintenance, but there’s no getting away from the fact that it is a key element to the FM role. Even if you work exclusively in soft services, you’re likely to need to liaise and work with your hard services counterpart. So it pays to know what its all about.

As a facilities manager, you need to go beyond the basics of picking up a spanner and a hammer and start thinking more strategically about maintenance. That’s what this course is all about.
