Diploma in Facilities Management

Facilities management is the final step in the design-build-manage cycle of construction. As a facilities manager, you'll oversee the operational management and maintenance of buildings once they're built to ensure our public spaces and workplaces are safe, healthy, sustainable, and productive. You'll contribute significantly to the success of an organisation by making sure buildings are fit-for-purpose. That ensures everyone can perform their jobs effectively and efficiently.
