Designation Programs

BOMI International designation programs are recognized on a national and international level as marks of distinction and excellence throughout the property and facility management industries. Each program offers time-tested courses with a proven curriculum designed by industry experts for property and facility management professionals. Those who complete a designation program gain a deep understanding of how to increase the value of properties and/or operate facilities at peak efficiency, and are able to apply this knowledge to their everyday jobs. 

Learners must complete their designation enrollment within a seven-year period with the option to request a one-year extension. Learners selecting not to complete their credential enrollment within the term will be considered inactive. All active designation learners enrolled prior to January 1, 2020 will be given seven years from January 1, 2020 to complete their current designation program. Enrollees on or after January 1, 2020, will have seven-years from their enrollment date to complete their designation.  

Many designation courses have also been approved toward maintaining your LEED, CFM, CPM, CCIM, and many other industry credentials.
