Program Overview


Course Details

The Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship Standard for Senior/Head of Facilities Management was developed by a consortium of consultants, contractors and employers from across the sector. The University of Bolton's programme has been fully mapped to the apprenticeship standard (ST0410) and offers an excellent combination of theory and practice. Studying at the University complements learning in the workplace, supporting apprentices to gain the core knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to effectively and efficiently manage the building and environmental services and processes that support your organisation's core business.

This degree apprenticeship can support your organisation in attracting the best new talent and retaining valued staff through career progression. Leading to an internationally recognised qualification in facilities and built assets management, this structured training programme supports apprentices to achieve and satisfy the requirements for registration with the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) at the Certified grade. By integrating study into the working week, your apprentices will have opportunities to put their new skills and understanding into practice without delay, building their confidence and experience and benefitting your organisation immediately.

Our expert team will support your apprentices as they undertake structured training in essential areas such as property asset management, service management, compliance, management systems, procurement and contract management, finance, and business continuity. We'll guide them to gain key skills in developing and managing strategy and policy, change and programme management and operational and technical leadership. With a focus on helping apprentices develop the behaviours required for occupational success, such as collaboration and influencing skills, leadership and a systematic approach, you can be assured that we'll work hard to support your apprentices as they develop into senior facilities management professionals.

If you're looking for undergraduate-level training in this subject area but don't work for an employer that offers apprenticeships, please see our related courses section for details of study opportunities that don't require current employment.
