A building's roof, chillers and lifts are worth millions collectively — yet many facilities teams still manage them reactively, replacing assets only after they fail. The Strategic Facility Asset Management Training Course by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy, part of our Training Courses In Facilities Management, gives professionals the tools to plan, monitor and optimise physical assets across their full lifecycle instead of reacting to breakdowns.

Within this Management category course, delegates work with ISO 55001, lifecycle costing and asset performance measurement to build asset management frameworks that raise building performance, manage risk, and support long-term, evidence-based investment decisions.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Apply Facility Asset Management principles, using ISO 55001 to structure asset management systems and governance.
• Use lifecycle costing to guide maintenance, replacement and investment decisions.
• Measure and monitor asset performance, reliability and availability through KPIs.
• Design maintenance strategy approaches — preventive, predictive and condition-based — that raise reliability and cut downtime.
• Apply risk-based methods to manage building assets and infrastructure.
• Use digital tools and asset data to support better facilities decision-making.
• Align asset management objectives with organisational goals and long-term facilities planning.
