Facilities Management is one of the fastest-growing professional disciplines in South Africa's property and services sector — a field that sits at the intersection of property management, engineering services, health and safety, sustainability, and organisational operations. Facilities Managers are responsible for ensuring that the physical environments in which people work and organisations operate are safe, functional, efficient, and well-maintained. The Facilities Management qualification at NQF Level 6 equips experienced FM professionals with the advanced management competencies needed to lead this complex function at a senior level.

At NQF Level 6, the curriculum addresses the full scope of professional facilities management: strategic facilities planning and space management, building maintenance management, energy and sustainability management, health, safety, and environmental compliance, service contract management and procurement, financial management of facilities budgets, facilities information management systems, business continuity planning, and the leadership and management of FM teams.
