Capacity Building

Facilities Management
Training & Capacity
Building

Build the knowledge, systems and practical skills your team needs to manage facilities more effectively.

Good facilities management depends on more than having contractors and maintenance staff available. Your people need to understand what to inspect, what to record, when to act, when to escalate an issue, and how to plan maintenance before failures occur.

Practical, Experience-Led Training

Training Built for
the People Who Run Your Buildings

NAMCS provides practical facilities management and building maintenance training designed for facility teams, maintenance personnel, supervisors, property managers, community representatives, Boards and non-technical personnel.

Our training combines real facilities management experience with practical tools participants can use after the training is complete.

🛠️

Practical Training, Not Theory Alone

Our approach is built around application. Depending on the programme, training can include classroom sessions, photographs and visual examples, demonstrations, group exercises, guided inspections, basic cost-estimating exercises and development of actual maintenance plans. Participants learn how to identify problems, determine priorities and take appropriate action within their level of responsibility.

Training Areas

Six Core

Custom Training Programmes

Your Facility Is
the Classroom

NAMCS can develop customised training programmes around the client's actual buildings, infrastructure, maintenance challenges and staff responsibilities.

Where appropriate, we begin with a site assessment to understand existing conditions and identify the areas where training will provide the greatest value.

Training Materials Can Incorporate

  • Actual site conditions and photographs
  • Existing maintenance challenges
  • Client equipment and infrastructure
  • Staff responsibilities
  • Existing procedures and documentation
  • Required inspection frequencies
  • Relevant maintenance priorities

Training should leave your organisation with more than a presentation. NAMCS can develop or adapt practical Building Maintenance Manuals and operational guidelines to support the training programme.

Manuals Can Include

  • Maintenance responsibilities and inspection requirements
  • Preventive maintenance frequencies
  • Asset registers and work-request forms
  • Maintenance logs and defect classifications
