Organisational Guidance for NHS Providers has historically focussed on Engineering. More recently there has been a levelling up through the application of the Premises Assurance Model and Catering and Cleaning Standards, however there is no recognised professional hierarchy. This Course offers a model, akin to the HTM Engineering Guidance, that will give organisations a Robust Assurance Framework in which to operate in; and familiarise Soft FM Leaders with the HTM Guidance, better equipping them for future roles managing wider portfolios.

Who is the course for

• Catering Managers and Cleaning Managers and Soft FM Managers generally
• Hard FM Managers looking to Soft FM Roles
• Health and Safety Leads
• FM Specialist Contractors
• Joint Negotiating and Consultation Committee (JNCC) Members
