It was a good course, and I learned many important and valuable points that will be beneficial for the Certified Facility Manager course.

By Kevin Venture on 8/18/2026

No Opportunity to test learning and knowledge dained. There could have been a bit more depth with informaiton presentation and details.

By Erica Maddock on 3/5/2026

This course only gives an overview of the topics you need to know, without actually teaching you anything about them. If you don't already know anything about facilities maintenance and are considering a career in it, this course could be useful to inform you of the day to day duties. As someone who already works in facilities maintenance, I did not learn anything I didn't already know. I thought this would help prepare me for the CFM test (as it advertises), it most certainly does not do that. The audio is also terrible throughout each lesson, very staticy sounding and fades in and out.

By Alpefehan on 2/2/2026

I absolutely loved this course! It provides a comprehensive and well-structured overview of the key concepts needed for Certified Facility Manager certification. The content is clear, engaging, and highly relevant to the day-to-day responsibilities of a facility manager. The instructor does an excellent job breaking down complex topics into easy-to-understand modules. I feel confident that the skills I’ve gained from this training will directly enhance my performance in the field. Highly recommended for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge in facility management

Need another training program where the trainer can show us how these software looks like or work and how to prepare data dashboards. Rest was informative.

By Solomon Alfapada on 1/10/2026

Very informative for a short course. Every section is mapped out and broken down into subsections, then detailed with what tools, principles, and roles a Facilities Manager plays in each subsection.

By Shanthini Bandarage on 12/1/2025

Overall, it was a good match for me. It strengthened my understanding of Facilities Management principles and helped me gain more confidence in handling responsibilities related to this area. The flexibility of the online format also made learning convenient and enjoyable.

By Md. Nazimur Rahman on 11/16/2025

The course was good. But could be better if he had some questionnaire at the end of the section to check and understand what we have learned.

By Brandon Milan on 11/10/2025

I really enjoyed taking the Certified Facility Manager (CFM) Essential Training course. The content is well-structured, clear, and aligned perfectly with the IFMA CFM competencies. The instructor does a great job explaining complex facility management concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and apply in real-world situations.

By Kate Sutherland on 11/6/2025

The accent was hard to understand and they talked very quickly. Not much to watch while taking the course. It was just like listening to bullet points outloud.
