The Central Ohio Chapter of IFMA Scholarship program is designed for Professional members to pursue credentials and certifications, degrees in facility management or related fields, attendance at World Workplace or Facility Fusion.
The CFM Exam is competency-based, testing what a person can do compared to standards that define the practice of facility management. One cannot take a course or a simple knowledge-based exam to earn the credential. IFMA’s competency-based program is at a higher level than a knowledge-based program, reflecting the growing importance of facility management in the international business world.
