Facilities Management Leadership Program
The OSU Facilities Management Leadership Certificate Program is available to OSU employees who wish to develop management skills to effectively lead people.
Getting started
We highly encourage you to work with your supervisor to select a professional development program and courses to take to complete the program. This certificate program must be completed within 3 years. The core and elective courses are offered throughout the calendar year. Core and elective courses are subject to change throughout the calendar year to provide a range of options.
Participants of this program must complete 4 core courses and 5 elective courses.
Courses are outlined in the tracking form in the How To Enroll section below, and also available when you complete your registration.
Both online and classroom courses can be used to complete your elective courses.
- Online Courses:
- We recommend that test scores be printed and kept on file in case they are needed. The Learning Management System (LMS) must show the class as completed in order for credit to be given.
- Up to 2 online courses can be counted towards your electives.
- Completed online courses must be Leadership or Management focused. These courses will not be marked by program. You must use the search or browse options and keywords or subjects to find courses with the content.
- Classroom/LIVE Virtual Courses:
- Classroom courses can be selected from any Talent Development & Recruitment department-sponsored sessions, LIVE Virtual sessions, or events that fall into the learning scope of the track selected. If in doubt, contact osu-trng@okstate.edu.
- A course can only be counted one time. All courses used to obtain a certificate of completion cannot be used to complete any other track.
- Session attendance records will be used for verification purposes. Be sure to sign-in for any session attended.
- Once you have completed the specific number of courses, mail the Completion Form to
Talent Development & Recruitment, 201 General Academic Building (GAB) or e-mail to
osu-trng@okstate.edu.

a. click "Add Subject(s) filters" on the left side of the screen,
b. click the white box with the black + sign next to "Certificate Programs",
c. click the blue + sign next to the certificate program you are enrolled in,
d. click "Done" in the box and the calendar will then show sessions that only apply to your certificate program. - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you are participating in a certificate program, it is critical to pace your progress in the program. Pacing is important for two reasons: 1.) so that you are able to take advantage of a variety of courses that will best serve your needs and interests when a course is offered, 2.) so that you complete the program before your due date.
It is our policy to not extend program due dates as we feel the program time frames allow ample time to complete. If you are enrolled in a curriculum program and do not know your current due date, please contact osu-trng@okstate.edu for this information. - DISCLAIMER
This certificate program requires a 3-year commitment.
Core courses are offered twice a year and electives are offered throughout the calendar year.
Elective courses vary for each certificate program. Elective courses are subject to change throughout the calendar year to provide a range of options.
Courses listed in multiple tracks can only be counted towards the completion of one learning track. You cannot use the same course to meet the course requirements of multiple learning tracks. You may participate in only one certificate program at a time.
- INCENTIVES
Some colleges/divisions also offer incentive plans for participating in training and continuing education.
Upon completion of the FM Leadership Program you will receive a completion certificate and a one-time $100 incentive payment.
