IWFM Qualifications in Facilities Management

Hi there,

Welcome to the One-Minute-Leveller!

My name's Rosie, and I'll be taking you through the process of establishing which level of IWFM qualification is best for you.

The process is simple - I'll simply ask you a few questions about your experience as a facilities manager.

The answers you provide will give me the information I need to recommend an IWFM Qualification for you.

There's only a few questions, so we'll be done before I can finish this cuppa!

Let's get started!
