Why the CFM Exam Is Challenging
The CFM exam is a competency-based test that evaluates candidates' ability to solve real-world facility management problems. Unlike knowledge-based exams, the CFM focuses on critical thinking, decision-making, and practical application across 11 core competencies. Candidates often face challenges such as:

Understanding the scenario-based question format.
Identifying reliable and cost-effective study resources.
Managing time effectively during preparation and on exam day.
With these challenges in mind, the article outlines top resources to streamline preparation and improve the chances of success.

Top Resources to Prepare for the CFM Exam

The International Facility Management Association (IFMA) provides comprehensive training resources, including competency-specific courses and workshops. While these are well-regarded for their in-depth content, they can be prohibitively expensive, with costs totaling up to $5,000 for the full suite of materials.

What IFMA Says:
"Materials offered by IFMA to prepare for the CFM Exam, such as the CFM Exam Prep Workshop and CFM practice exams, are optional study resources and are not a requirement of eligibility, nor are they required by the IFMA Certification Commission."
