Practice into Theory: A Layman's Case for Education

Abstract

Distinguishes between training and education and suggests why it is important for practitioners and advisers to take part in the learning process – for example: the movement into new areas of management; job motivation; changes in management structure; development of facilities management as a profession. Compares the benefits of short‐term training with the long‐term view of education, claiming that facilities management as a profession needs an educational background for its credibility. Concludes by detailing the facilities management qualifications available at the present time and what the future holds.
