Designation Programs

We bring together industry leaders and education experts to create the best property and facility management education programs in the industry. Our process of creating and validating courses is so rigorous that we are recognized by the American Council on Education’s College Credit Recommendation Service, which has evaluated and recommended college credit for most BOMI International courses. Many courses have also been approved toward maintaining your LEED, CFM, CPM, CCIM, and many other industry credentials.

For these reasons, our programs are recognized nationally and internationally as the standard for property and facility management education.
