The new profession of "qualified head of facility management and maintenance" was created by merging the previous qualifications of "head of facility management" and "head of maintenance". The first preparatory courses will start in fall 2020. The first federal examination is expected to take place in 2022.
The two existing qualifications "Head of Facility Management" and "Head of Maintenance" are well established in the industry. By expanding the area of expertise, the Head of Facility Management and Maintenance qualification will become even more attractive. And as services in facility management and maintenance are increasingly in demand, the career prospects for competent professionals at this newly designed management level are also good.
