Capitol   What is the Federal Buildings Personnel Training Act
    (FBPTA)?

BOMI INTERNATIONAL IS A:

   

GSA FBPTA-ALIGNED PROVIDER

The Facilities Management Institute (FMI) of the US General Services Administration (GSA) has completed a comprehensive review of BOMI International's curriculum and identified several courses/programs that meet many of the core competencies that building and facility personnel need to perform key job functions and operate high-performance buildings.

Key Job Functions: Facilities Operation and Management, Facilities Maintenance and Engineering, Technology, Energy Management, Safety, Design, Sustainability, Water Efficiency, Project Management, Business, Budget and Contracting, Leadership and Innovation, and Performance Measures.

  The US GSA has worked with industry representatives to define the competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities) that federal building and facility personnel need to perform their job effectively. They have also approved providers of courses, certifications, degrees, licenses, and registrations in the industry that align with these core competencies.
