The Association for Facilities Engineering (AFE) has announced its 2001 national calendar for Certified Plant Engineer (CPE) and Certified Facilities Maintenance Manager (CPMM) reviews and examinations. Both programs require certain levels of education and/or experience for eligibility and completion of an application.
The CPE program provides a standard of competence for facilities engineers and managers. Its curriculum covers civil engineering, economics, management, environmental engineering, safety, maintenance, mechanical engineering, HVAC, and electrical engineering. AFE will conduct classes and administer the exam for this credential May 21-25 in Cincinnati, Ohio; September 24-28 in Las Vegas, Nevada; and at a date to be named later in Madison, Wisconsin.
The CPMM program debuted in 1999 to provide a standard of professional competence for maintenance managers and to enhance the status of this field as a unique discipline and profession. The curriculum consists of the following sections: maintenance management, preventive maintenance, inventory and procurement, work orders—work flow/planning and scheduling, CMMS, training and work cultures, predictive maintenance, reliability-centered maintenance, total productive maintenance, maintenance financials, and return on investment. AFE will conduct classes and administer the exam for this credential April 23-27 in Los Angeles, California; May 13-17 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; September 24-28 in Las Vegas, Nevada; and December 3-7 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
With prior arrangement, the CPE and CPMM exams can be administered under certain proctored conditions as an alternative to the dates and places identified above. Applications, review materials, and further information can be obtained by contacting Jennifer Gonzalez at (513) 489-2473, ext. 19, or jgonzalez@afe.org. Certification fees are discounted for members of the association. For more information, visit AFE on the web.
