Since 1992, the FM Academy has been an interactive and practice-oriented learning workshop for facility management. Expanded and developed by gammaRenax, it has formed the backbone of our in-house training programme since its integration into ISS Switzerland. It is specifically tailored to the high demands and quality standards of our services and supports both our staff and external participants in developing their professional skills in a targeted manner.
For over 30 years, the FM Academy has been preparing aspiring professionals for the federal vocational examination for building maintenance technicians and also offers specialized courses such as the NIV Art. 15 follow-up certification, equipment inspection, energy conservation, as well as additional qualifications in the areas of plant protection, ECDL, and BLS-AED SRC first aid. If you are interested in a specific course, the director of the FM Academy, Vlonja Hoxha, will be happy to create a customized offer.
The 18 instructors are proven experts who pass on their many years of practical experience directly to the course participants.
“Employee development is corporate development - those who invest in their team’s skills and knowledge shape the future and ensure the success of the entire company. The FM Academy provides the ideal foundation for this!”
Vlonja Hoxha, Director of the FM Academy
“Technologies in the construction industry are constantly evolving. Through targeted continuing education, employees not only stay abreast of these developments but also strengthen their ability to bring innovative solutions to building management.
Our training programs enhance skills, improve process efficiency, and help preserve the value of properties—which leads to cost savings and the sustainable use of resources. Continuing education in the field of facility management fosters employees’ personal development and boosts the company’s competitiveness.”
Karin Weber, Instructor for the Building Maintenance Technician Program: Leading to a Federal Certificate
“My motivation is to share knowledge and spark a genuine ‘aha’ moment in my students. It excites me every time I can pass on my own joy of learning to them and see them draw inspiration from it.
I find the many hands-on days and the FM Academy’s superbly equipped machine shop - where everything can be observed and tested in real time - particularly valuable. I also find the use of QR codes for short, supplementary videos on the topic to be very professional.”
Franceso Mehls, Instructor for the Building Maintenance Technician Program with a Federal Certificate of Competence
