BOMI International has a 50-year history of providing quality commercial property educational programs throughout North America and is considered best-in-class by property and facility management professionals for commercial property professional designations such as the RPA®, FMA®, SMA®, BOMI-HP® and SMT®, in addition to our certificate programs.
BOMI International and our Canadian marketing partner, the Building Owners and Managers Institute of Canada agreed to terminate their agreement as of December 31, 2019. The Canadian constituency will continue to receive first-class service and support thorough a new BOMI International partner, BOMI Education Canada, as of January 1, 2020.
Over the past several months, BOMI International and the existing provider have developed a plan to provide a seamless transition for all learners enrolled in our Certificate and Designation programs, as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) coursework.
BOMI Education Canada will begin accepting Canadian learner course registrations on January 1, 2020. Learners remain able to register for courses through the existing provider until that time.
BOMI International maintains all education records, so the transition will likely go unnoticed by learners with the exception of new BOMI Education Canada contact information and the enrolment and course registration process. In the past, Building Owners and Managers Institute of Canada provided billing, marketing and learner support, which will now be handled by BOMI Education Canada effective January 1, 2020. A monthly newsletter for Canadian learners will be distributed beginning January 2020.
Canadian learners and Canadian BOMA local organizations will continue to be supported by experienced Education Coordinators. BOMI Education Canada is completing their registration process with Canadian authorities and tax certificate information will be provided on the website and through email to all learners in the near future.
Beginning on January 1, 2020, you will be able to access the website at www.bomicanada.ca. You will receive a “Check it out” email once the site is launched. Learners will register using the new eCommerce registration process on BOMI Education Canada’s website. Payments can be made via credit card or cheque.
Your login information for the learning system will remain the same. For the website, your username will remain the same, but you will be prompted to change your password.
2020 course pricing will not increase. You can view the price sheet here.
