11 Opportunities for work-related learning ( location and nature of activities)
The programme has been developed with the support, through the development of professional qualifications, of
the British Institute of Facilities Management. The curriculum design has been informed by the input from a
steering group comprising of key industry representatives from a number of organisations involved in facilities
management, including: AA Projects Ltd, Davis Langdon, Co-op Estates, HOCHTIEF Facilities Management,
Merseyside Police, ACC Liverpool.
A key feature of the programme is the opportunity provided for flexible work-based learning. The students will be
able to take comparative study of comparing and contrasting different workplace environments to share facilities
management best practice and innovation as the topic for in-depth study during a module.
