What are CoreTracks?
The 2005 IAAM District Meetings featured
a programming element new the IAAM educational line-up. CoreTracks,
created from the work of the Body of Knowledge Task Force, are a
series of educational sessions that focus on the four core principles of
facility management identified by the BoK: Sales
& Marketing, Administration & Fiscal Management, Facility
Services & Operations, and Leadership & Management. Participants
may choose to pursue any one of the tracks, and
possibly more than one contingent on the schedule of the district
educational program. Attendance is taken to verify participation, and
additional coursework will be assigned during the course of the
program. Participants who successfully complete the three-year curriculum
in any track will be awarded recognition of specialized training, which
will provide additional weighting value for entry into the Certified
Facilities Executive program. Completion of a CoreTracks will
also apply to a mid-level recognition program in development by the IAAM Board
of Education.
What if I
missed one of the CoreTracks session
at a district meeting?
That’s why we have developed CoreTracks
on the Web. Year 1 of CoreTracks is now available
through the IAAM e-Learning Center, and Years 2 and 3 are under development. IAAM’s membership department keeps a permanent transcript
of all CoreTracks an individual has completed.
How can I
complete the CoreTracks Program?
The Board of Education’s current planning is that
successful completion will consist of taking three years of the four CoreTracks, with a concluding, web-based assessment
program.
What kind of
credit do I earn if I complete the complete CoreTracks
Program?
Participants who successfully complete the
three-year curriculum in any track will be awarded recognition of
specialized training, which will provide additional weighting value for entry
into the Certified Facilities Executive program. Completion
of a CoreTracks will also apply to a mid-level
recognition program in development by the IAAM Board of Education.
