Education
Through CFM certification, a globally recognized designation, major Educational Events, and monthly programs, the Northern Alberta Chapter strives to improve the value which facility practitioners bring to the local business community. IFMA NAC is committed to providing affordable education, ongoing professional development opportunities for our members.
 

Programs:
Every year from September through June we provide monthly lunch or dinner Events with speakers on a variety of facilities topics. We encourage members to share their accomplishments, knowledge, experience and insight with their colleagues by presenting at one of these Events. Traditionally we kick off the year with a facility Tour and try to plan at least one other Tour during the year. The December Event is a social Event, however we often provide a light-hearted or humorous presentation related to FM or the Workplace. In June we hold our Annual General Meeting in a more social environment and honor our members and supporters. We survey member opinions and welcome suggestions for timely topics or projects of interest to Facility Professionals.

Educational Events:
Full Day Seminars with a number of presenters providing different perspectives on a specific area of facilities management.

 

CFM Certification Study Sessions:
The Certified Facility Manager designation is becoming recognized globally as a standard of excellence and provides individuals with many benefits. IFMA-NAC may possibly be the only Chapter which continues to provide CFM Study sessions at no cost to their members. Investigation will show that the cost of similar training can be very substantial. Our commitment to the local Facility Management community is instrumental in maintaining one of the highest proportions of CFM's in any Chapter. Almost every participant in past Study Groups who was written the comprehensive CFM Exam has passed.

 

Network of Peers:
Getting to know your colleagues is one of the informal, but important ways in which members can enhance their professional development, Our members span a variety of specialties and experiences and are generally more than happy to share information and knowledge with fellow NAC Members.
