Overview
This course introduces the theory and practical application of facilities management, focusing on supporting core business operations for property owners and tenants. Designed for professionals entering the facilities management field, the course unpacks FM strategy, in-house vs outsourced services, contractor relationships, service specifications, and performance measurement. Students will learn to align FM with organisational needs, understand outsourcing decisions, and evaluate the impact of service contracts on business value. Through classwork, a project, and a summative exam, participants develop the skills to manage supplier performance, create effective service level agreements, and apply best practices in facilities management. Ideal for graduates of property-related courses or practitioners without formal FM qualifications, this course offers a practical path into the growing facilities management profession. A quality-assured certificate from the University of the Witwatersrand is issued on successful completion.

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
