Professional Certification in Facility Management (PCFM)

Facility Management is a multidisciplinary profession that integrates people, place, processes, and technology to ensure the functionality, comfort, safety, and efficiency of the built environment. With rapid urbanization, expansion of commercial and industrial infrastructure, smart buildings, healthcare facilities, educational campuses, malls, airports, and IT parks, the demand for professionally trained Facility Management Managers has increased significantly.

Modern Facility Management goes beyond housekeeping and maintenance—it encompasses operations, safety, sustainability, compliance, budgeting, vendor management, and strategic decision-making. Organizations increasingly seek skilled facility managers who can optimize resources, ensure regulatory compliance, enhance occupant satisfaction, and contribute to business continuity.

This programme is designed to develop competent Facility Management professionals equipped with technical, managerial, and leadership skills required to manage complex facilities across sectors such as corporate offices, manufacturing units, hospitals, hotels, residential complexes, and public infrastructure.
