Overview
Are you an experienced workplace and facilities management (WFM) professional unable to gain the CIWFM post-nominals that showcase your expertise because you don't hold a Level 6 IWFM qualification?
IWFM’s new Experiential Route to Certified membership (CIWFM) offers you perfect opportunity to gain industry recognition certified by IWFM’s standards without the need for a formal qualification.
Join us on Tuesday 24 September, 12pm - 1pm, for an exclusive webinar launching this exciting new pathway to CIWFM status.

If you hold a strategic role, lead complex initiatives, and make significant operational decisions, this route allows you to demonstrate your competence through work experience and gain recognition at the Certified level, achieving the CIWFM post nominals.
During the webinar, we’ll cover:
- What the Experiential Route to CIWFM is and how it differs from traditional certification.
- Why achieving CIWFM status enhances your professional credibility and career growth.
- The eligibility criteria and what the assessment process involves.
- Guidance on timelines, resources, and how to access support throughout the application process.
