Clayton State Continuing Education Introduces New Facilities Management Certification Program

Morrow, Ga., Dec. 12, 2006 -- Clayton State University’s Division of Continuing Education has announced a new Facilities Management Certification Program that will begin in February 2007.

The Facilities Management Certification Program equips facilities managers with the up-to-date skills and knowledge required to meet the challenges of this critical and multifaceted role. Both new facilities managers and those with more experience will find the program valuable, as the program delves into both technical topics and the complexities of managing diverse staff.

The subjects explored range from preventive and predictive maintenance and the operation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical systems to supervising all individuals involved in the construction of new facilities.

The program will be valuable for individuals who have become or plan to assume positions where their responsibilities involve facilities management. In addition, practicing facilities managers who seek to upgrade their skills and increase their earning potential will also want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Courses offered include: Electrical and Mechanical Systems; Principles of Management and Supervision; Preventative and Predictive Maintenance; Facilities Maintenance Management System; and Project Administration and Supervision.
