I have been associated with the Administration domain for over 30+ years now and have been performing roles as Travel, Hospitality, Events, and Compliance Manager. I always wanted to learn more about other areas of Administration and Facilities. And was hunting for someone or an institute that can deep dive into various facilities-related topics and teach me in detail about the technical side of it and solve all my doubts.

I came across an Institute run by stalwarts from the Industry Mr. Rameshkumar Upadhyay (BE, MDHRD, DIM) and Mr. Jitendra Narayan Kumar (BE, MBA) both Directors of the Institute of Facility Managers & Engineers (IFME), Pune, India conducting a course on Facility Management. They have also written two books on Facility Management and theirs is the only institute in India that teaches facility management, as the majority of Admin. or Facility personnel learn by means of work experience.

I attended this four months course wherein subjects like – Maintenance, Heat Ventilation & Air Conditioning, Diesel Generator, Transformer, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), Building Management Systems (BMS), Workplace & Ambient, Data Center Management, Business Continuity Management Systems (BCMS), Transport Management, Risk Management, Pest Control, Vendor Management, Building Management, Security Physical & Electronics, Communications, Environment Health & Safety (EHS), Fire Detection & Fighting, Commercial Leasing, Water & Sanitation, Budgeting & Budgetary Control, Labor Law & Compliance, Compliances, Housekeeping, Cafeteria Management & Sustainability were covered and all my questions were answered good-naturedly by all the faculties of IFME.

Now I carry that confidence in addressing most of the technical queries related to Facilities and Administration. I am immensely thankful to Mr. Upadhyay and Mr. JN Kumar for such insightful teaching and for parting in their first-hand experience with all the students.

I would strongly recommend all to take up this course if you wish to make a career and Facilities and Administration, it is worth investing in self-development.

Till the time I enrolled for this course, I just had a vague idea about Corporate Facilities Management & Engineering even though being an Engineer by profession. The topics covered under this course were the 'Force Multipliers' for succeeding in FM field that has taken the form of a Specialized subject. Coming from the background of Armed Forces, this course exposed me exponentially towards the new horizons of Corporate culture, demands and expectations. I enjoyed learning throughout all the sessions conducted by the elite team of top-notch Facilities Management professionals. For every class covered by our teachers added with the bundle of their personal experiences in their FM profession, I could just visualize them with real time day-to-day operational scenarios. This course has surely enhanced my Engineering & Management skills and horizons. I also had a lot of take-aways from my fellow course mates who were experts in their fields related to FM. A must course to be attended by anyone having interest & zeal to learn and excel in the challenging field of Facilities Management. Jai Hind, God speed.

Dear IFME Team,

I would like to show my sincere gratitude towards the entire team for exceling my knowledge in Facility Management. Coming from Non – Technical background was never a barrier in learning each and every aspect of Facility topics which were taught during the course.

The course helped to do the facility activity in right manner and complete knowledge of all the equipment's in office & today when I enter my facility, the approach of looking at my facility has entirely changed, also the working style of every task has been more focused and with depth knowledge.

The course content was so practical & real that, each topic was truly connected to our daily activities. In depth knowledge and real time experiences shared by all professors has made the learning more interesting and active. Right from Cafeteria Management to Soft Skills which plays important role for any FM
was included in the course.

I would strongly recommend this course to everyone who wants to excel their career in Facility Management.

Thank you once again for upscaling my knowledge and confidence about Facility Management.

This course is very useful for individuals who want to become competent and efficient in the field of facility management & administration. Special thanks to Mr. Ramesh & Mr. Jitendra for upskilling me & taking initiative to start this course.

I choose to learn from the best!

When it comes to Facilities, IFME is the one institute where you will learn how to be an effective FM / Admin personal and how to continue enhancing your facility to create the best employee experience.

While my current role mainly involves office space leasing, I had attended this course to get insights into the Facility Management function as it is closely related to the day to day operations of occupiers within tech parks. I have following feedback.
1. The course content is very comprehensive. It provides a 360 degree overview of the FM function and a must do for every RE professional.
2. Since Ramesh, Jitendra and the other teaching faculties are industry veterans, the course provides practical know how and not just a theory based course. Students gain from the vast experience of the faculty members pertaining to real on site job incidents.

I strongly recommend this course for all RE professionals, specially those who aspire to make their careers in FM or for those who are already handling some FM role and want to hone their skills and knowledge further.

Being associated as Chief Administrative Officer, I was looking for institutions to get my staff members/officers trained and I found IFME to be one of the best institutions to upgrade technical knowledge and skills, post attending session (under guidance of Shri Ramesh Upadhyay) I found my officers to be more efficient, effective while at work, my officers has enhanced their knowledge in Facility Management domain.

Appreciate contribution of IFME in enhancement of skills & knowledge of my officers !!!

warm regards,
Debapriya Ojha
