24 September 2024 12pm – 1pm Zoom webinar

Overview

Are you an experienced workplace and facilities management (WFM) professional unable to gain the CIWFM post-nominals that showcase your expertise because you don't hold a Level 6 IWFM qualification?

IWFM’s new Experiential Route to Certified membership (CIWFM) offers you perfect opportunity to gain industry recognition certified by IWFM’s standards without the need for a formal qualification.

Join us on Tuesday 24 September, 12pm - 1pm, for an exclusive webinar launching this exciting new pathway to CIWFM status.

The Experiential Route is designed specifically for senior and strategic professionals who have proven their expertise through years of hands-on work, even without traditional qualifications. If you hold a strategic role, lead complex initiatives, and make significant operational decisions, this route allows you to demonstrate your competence through work experience and gain recognition at the Certified level, achieving the CIWFM post nominals.

During the webinar, we’ll cover:

  • What the Experiential Route to CIWFM is and how it differs from traditional certification.
  • Why achieving CIWFM status enhances your professional credibility and career growth.
  • The eligibility criteria and what the assessment process involves.
  • Guidance on timelines, resources, and how to access support throughout the application process.

This session will help you decide if the Experiential Route is right for you, and we’ll answer any questions you might have along the way.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to elevate your career and be recognised as a strategic leader in WFM.

Register now and join us on 24 September to learn more.
