Learning is awesome. It keeps us motivated, engaged and builds confidence. Earning your ProFM credential in our live, virtual coach-led class, will help you, your staff and your organization build a path toward professional growth and success.
Learning Matters
We work hard, we have busy lives and learning often takes a back seat. But we also know how important learning is for our jobs and careers. Learning fills us with hope, energy, and a renewed passion for our work. Learning fills our heads with knowledge, increases our confidence and gives us a reason to ask for a raise. Embrace the opportunity. Come learn with us!
What is the ProFM Credential?
The ProFM is an international credential designed to benefit all facility professionals, regardless of career stage, industry, or country. The ProFM Body Of Knowledge defines the 19 functional FM knowledge areas and 5 cross-functional competencies required of today’s facility professional.
What is a Virtual Coach-Led Class?
Coach-led classes offer a mix of high-level focused content, group activities, practice quizzes, and other study preparation tools. The success of this model relies on students' advanced preparation for class (you need to read the text). Hosting the classes live and virtual allows you to incorporate learning into your already busy schedule.
Is a Coach-Led Class right for me?
You can read the ProFM material, take the quizzes and study for the assessments all on your own, but having an instructor helps you to focus on the right material, explain concepts that may be new to you, and help you stay accountable. We will stick with you through the entire process from instruction through completing your assessments. We provide you with test taking strategies, tips, and practice questions all to help you achieve your goal of earning your ProFM credential.
What is included in our virtual ProFM Course?
Our virtual ProFM instructor led course includes over 16 hours of live, engaging classes with 2 experienced and seasoned FM instructors. The course also includes all of the ProFM online tools, materials & resources you need to pass the 2 assessments (those are included also). Join our class, follow our 'secret sauce' methodology, invest the time to study, and you can earn your ProFM in 4 months!
Oh, and we have a lot of fun too! Watch our recorded session to learn even more about our upcoming class.

Alana is a recognized FM educator who I have been following for a few years. Jim was a bonus. I chose the instructor lead course because of them; I wanted to truly understand and absorb the ProFM content and not just pass the exams. Alana and Jim provided insight and their personal experiences to make the information more relatable and helped me retain the information more easily.

What our students are saying
You made the class fun and interesting. As you can appreciate, the information can be very dry......you both made it interesting and even remotely, I felt involved in the process. I liked the way you divided things up. Listening to one voice for a long time, even pleasant voices like yours, can be tiring. I liked your PowerPoint presentations. I liked your focus on important and useful points and easy ways to remember concepts. Thanks again for everything! I don't know you well but you are two of my favorite course teachers ever!
