The course has helped me solidify my knowledge - it is sometimes difficult to learn in a busy workplace, so I have appreciated the head-space provided by a course in my own time. I certainly think differently about my role, and feel more confident about how I should develop it.

I found the course rewarding in many ways and enriched my knowledge of FM. The course is well constructed and covers all the key areas related to Facilities Management which I have gained valuable knowledge from. As a result I have been able to, for example, revisit and update all our Risk Assessments (H&S and Fire), our safety statement, our H&S inspections and controls, and I devised our first ever formal facilities management plan as a result of participating on the course.

The course was easy to understand and I'm truly glad that I did it now in the end. I only wish I had of done it sooner as I found most of the material very helpful in my normal work schedule. While I may have had some experience in the likes of "Risk Assessments", "Health & Safety" and "Facilities Management", I felt the course may have structured the way I think about things in my working environment and put me back in check with reality and eliminate any bad habits I may have been doing. Overall expectations was to add a certificate to what I know, but what this course gave me more than that, in that it somewhat guided me back on track with what I know and what's important in a facilities working environment. There is still many things to learn and improve on and I feel some of the other courses such and LEAN 6 Sigma, health and safety, the advance FM leadership course and the various belts (Green, yellow etc.), will all help moving forward in my career path. I suppose I'm very lucky in that I have the time to pick and choose what course I do next and I like that I have the choice in deciding that as oppose.

The ability to take the course at your own pace and the support and mentoring from your tutor was excellent. I would highly recommend it.
