Tailor your learning experience to your needs and choose from the following topics:

• Plant renovation: contract terms and conditions

About the FEM Diploma Program

Three one-week courses–totaling 96 contact hours--will provide you with critical, money-saving skills in the areas of maintenance, electrical, mechanical, environmental, health and safety, construction, energy conservation, and management material. The weekly sessions, or equivalent hours, do not have to be taken in sequence. Upon the completion of the requirements, you will be expected to make a final presentation (15 minutes) on your special experiences in the field of facilities management. You will then be awarded a non-degree diploma from NC State's Office of Professional Development.
