Upgrade
Are you an Associate Member in need of an Upgrade?
BIFM is committed to helping all our members to develop professionally through our programme of Events, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) tools, knowledge resources and education products.
Once you have gained five years experience working within the FM Sector, you will be eligible to upgrade your membership to Full Member, which will allow you to use our post nominal letters ‘MBIFM’ after your name.
Many of our members use these letters on their CVs, Business Cards and Email Signatures to denote their professional status and many FM recruiters specifically ask for Job Applicants who are ’MBIFMs’, so it is well worth upgrading your membership.
In order to assess your application to upgrade your membership we will need a copy of your CV and your current Job Description. If you are not sure whether you are eligible to upgrade, you can look at our BIFM competences – we would expect applicants to have 5 years’ experience in most areas.
If you would like to speak to someone about whether or not to upgrade your membership, call our Membership Team on 0845 058 1358 or email your CV to membership@bifm.org.uk and we will be happy to advise you.
