Attend IFMA's First Spanish-Language FMP Virtual Session

Published 05/20/2026 13:05

IFMA is expanding access to professional development for facility management professionals worldwide with the launch of its first Spanish-language virtual class for the Facility Management Professional (FMP) credential program.

Beginning 7 Sept 2026, IFMA will launch a Spanish-language version of the FMP Leadership & Strategy virtual class, creating new opportunities for Spanish-speaking facility management professionals to strengthen their leadership capabilities, communication skills, and strategic decision-making in their preferred language.

Why the FMP Matters for Facility Management Professionals

Today’s facility management professionals are expected to do far more than oversee buildings and operations. Modern FM leaders help organizations:

  • Improve workplace experiences
  • Support sustainability and operational goals
  • Lead teams and vendors effectively
  • Align facilities with business strategy
  • Drive efficiency and long-term planning

The FMP credential helps professionals build the foundational knowledge and leadership competencies needed to succeed in these increasingly strategic roles.

About the Leadership & Strategy Course

The Leadership & Strategy course is one of the core components of the FMP program and focuses on the interpersonal and strategic skills needed in today’s built environment.

Learners will explore topics including:

  • Leadership styles and communication techniques
  • Team dynamics and collaboration
  • Conflict resolution and problem-solving
  • Organizational alignment
  • Strategic planning and decision-making

These skills are essential for professionals responsible for managing people, projects, vendors, and workplace initiatives across diverse environments.

Why a Spanish-Language Offering Matters

By offering this course in Spanish, IFMA is helping remove language barriers that can sometimes limit access to professional development opportunities.

Benefits of learning in Spanish include:

  • Greater accessibility for global FM professionals
  • Improved understanding of complex leadership concepts
  • Increased confidence in participation and discussion
  • Stronger collaboration and peer engagement
  • Better application of learning within the workplace

For organizations with multilingual teams or operations across Latin America, Spain, and other Spanish-speaking regions, the course also supports workforce development and helps create more consistent professional standards across teams.

Leadership & Strategy – En Español

Dates: Mondays, 7 Sept - 19 Oct 2026
Time: 1:00 p.m. EST (UTC-5)
Format: Live via Zoom
Duration: 90-minute class each week

The virtual class is available to learners enrolled in the FMP Leadership & Strategy course and may be added during enrollment or after course purchase.

A Global Step Forward for FM Learning

In addition to live instruction, participants will benefit from collaborative discussions and peer engagement with other facility management professionals, creating opportunities to share real-world experiences and best practices across cultures and regions.

This program reflects IFMA’s continued commitment to creating accessible, inclusive, and globally relevant learning opportunities for facility management professionals at every stage of their careers.

By expanding FMP offerings in Spanish, IFMA is helping more professionals gain the skills, confidence, and industry knowledge needed to lead effectively in today’s rapidly changing built environment.
