Develop confident, capable supervisors equipped to lead teams and deliver high-quality facilities services.
Our Facilities Supervisor Programmes are designed to reflect the reality of modern FM operations – where different supervisory roles require different technical skillsets, but all demand strong leadership, communication, and FM knowledge.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we offer two specialist pathways, aligned to specific roles within both facilities service providers and in-house FM teams.
Each Programme Combines:Â
- A role specific apprenticeship standard aligned to the learners’ day-to-day responsibilities
- The IWFM Level 3 Award in Facilities Management (included at no additional cost)
