Course overview
Plan and coordinate facilities operations and maintenance. Connect asset needs, work priorities and service continuity with the evidence required to review completed work.
Why this course matters
The course connects asset registers and maintenance boundaries with maintenance performance and lifecycle review. Participants practise making the reasoning and evidence behind an operational decision clear enough for others to review.
Learning objectives
Explain the scope of asset registers and maintenance boundaries.
Identify the key requirements for asset criticality and service consequences.
Apply a structured approach to corrective and preventive maintenance.
Evaluate evidence relating to condition-based maintenance principles.
Develop a practical output for work planning and job readiness.
Justify recommendations concerning safe work and contractor interfaces.
Review responsibilities for backlog management and prioritisation.
Prepare an implementation plan for maintenance performance and lifecycle review.
Who should attend
FM practitioners, supervisors, service coordinators and facilities managers
Prerequisites
Relevant workplace exposure and familiarity with basic subject terminology are recommended. Advanced technical workshops require suitable prior knowledge; participant suitability and any specialist preparation are confirmed before booking.
Course curriculum
Asset registers and maintenance boundaries
Reconcile asset identity, location and maintenance ownership while preserving traceable records and unresolved equipment boundaries.
Asset criticality and service consequences
Review the consequences of losing asset functions, distinguishing service criticality from purchase price and unverified fallback claims.
Corrective and preventive maintenance
Connect corrective and preventive work to its purpose, approved requirements and recurrence evidence before proposing strategy changes.
Condition-based maintenance principles
Assess measurement comparability, operating context and evidence limitations before referring condition information for competent interpretation.
Work planning and job readiness
Compare demand with net available resources and identify materials, access, authorisations and acceptance gates needed for job readiness.
Safe work and contractor interfaces
Resolve contractor and service interfaces through clear scope, receiving roles and authorisation boundaries without treating bookings as technical permission.
Backlog management and prioritisation
Reconcile incoming and closed work, preserve due dates and deferral reasons, and escalate consequence reviews through approved priority arrangements.
Maintenance performance and lifecycle review
Compare recorded completion with acceptance-supported delivery, reviewing recurrence and exposure evidence before drawing lifecycle or effectiveness conclusions.
Practical learning
A multi-building workplace has rising occupancy, inconsistent inspection results and a backlog of service requests. The client wants a clear operating plan before adding resources.
Participants examine this fictional case through the course modules, identify missing information and prepare a justified response. Corporate examples can be adapted within the agreed scope.
Assessment approach
Knowledge checks assess understanding, while a practical case output tests application. Review criteria are accuracy, use of evidence, recognition of limitations, clear responsibility and feasibility. The facilitator provides feedback; joining instructions confirm attendance requirements and any formal pass criteria before delivery.
Completion information
An Al-Warkaa professional-development completion certificate may be issued against the confirmed attendance and assessment requirements. This is not a claim of professional licensure, regulatory authorisation or third-party accreditation.

Frequently asked questions
Does an enquiry reserve a place?
An enquiry starts a discussion. Your place or group delivery is confirmed after availability, scope and commercial terms are agreed.
Can the course use our procedures?
Yes, relevant anonymised documents can be agreed for corporate delivery. Added scope and extensive preparation are confirmed in the quotation.
Is this available as an immediate self-paced course?
The approved online pathway is live online/distance learning. Self-paced learning media is not represented as available until it has been developed and enabled.
Maintenance planning application
Practise turning an incomplete asset register into a justified maintenance recommendation. A fictional pump, cooling unit and door request create competing service priorities and evidence gaps. Participants distinguish asset criticality from job readiness, identify the information needed for a four-hour work window and explain who must verify acceptance and return to service. The Student Guide provides the case, a working sheet and worked reasoning in English and Arabic.
