Fast-Track Your Career with Advanced Entry to the BSc (Hons) in Workplace & Facilities Management

06 Dec 2024

At Portobello Institute, we understand that your time is valuable, especially if you're already working in facilities or workplace management. That’s why we offer advanced entry routes to our BSc (Hons) in Workplace & Facilities Management, enabling you to earn a prestigious degree in as little as 1 to 2 years.

Why Choose Advanced Entry?

The advanced entry pathways are designed to recognise your existing qualifications and experience, allowing you to bypass the earlier stages of the programme. This tailored approach means you can complete your degree faster, gaining both the academic credentials and industry recognition needed to accelerate your career.

Who is Eligible?

You may be eligible for advanced entry depending on your current qualifications and experience. It’s important to note that every application is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Here’s how you can qualify:

  • Second-Year Entry: If you hold a relevant third-level qualification (e.g., IWFM Level 4 Diploma) or a Senior Trade Cert with significant experience and senior endorsements, you could start directly in the second year.
  • Final-Year Entry: If you’ve already completed a Level 7 degree or hold an IWFM Diploma at Level 5 or 6, you may be able to jump straight into the final year of the programme.

Complete Your Degree in Just One Year

If you qualify for final-year entry, you could be holding your BSc (Hons) in Workplace & Facilities Management in just 12 months. This degree, awarded by London Metropolitan University, is equivalent to a Level 8 qualification on the National Framework of Qualifications and opens doors to Certified Level Membership of the IWFM (adding CIWFM to your name!).

Tailored to Your Experience

While we offer advanced entry, it’s important to note that every application is assessed on a case-by-case basis. This ensures that your qualifications and experience are recognised appropriately, and that you’re placed at the right stage in the programme. Whether you’ve been in the industry for years or have completed prior qualifications, we’ll find the right path for you.

Flexible Learning Designed for Professionals

Our BSc (Hons) in Workplace & Facilities Management is delivered via blended learning, allowing you to continue working full-time while studying. You’ll gain valuable insights from industry professionals, expand your network, and advance your career without having to put it on hold.
