EDUCATION
AAFAME schedules skills & business related topics at monthly luncheons and training classes. These presentations are conducted by industry professionals. The topics and presenters are chosen by our programs and training committee which consists of member volunteers. Visit our leadership page to learn more about our committees.
These presentations are designed to increase members understanding and abilities in those areas identified by an annual training survey and committee members who are in the field. Cost of each luncheon or training class is minimal for members.
Our presentations count as Continuing Education as recognized by BOMI (Building Owners & Managers Institute International). Training classes equal 2 hours in addition to the monthly luncheons which equal half hour.
Visit calendar of events for more details about our monthly luncheons and training classes.
Nowhere else can building engineers get this type of training.
DESIGNATION
AAFAME encourages it's engineer members to seek the SMT/SMA designation (System Maintenance Technician & Administrator) offered through BOMA Austin. Currently 34% of our engineer members have the SMA/SMT designation. Once the designation is received you will need to maintain 18 CEU's every 3 years and AAFAME helps to fulfill that requirement by being a member and attending luncheons (1/2 hour) & training classes (2 hours). You can even get credit for serving as a committee volunteer (3 hours per year).
Contact BOMA Austin to register for the SMA/SMT Classes. AAFAME members receive a BOMA member pricing on classes ($100 discount).
AAFAME offers a scholarship for those whose employers do not offer tuition assistance.
