Post-graduate diploma program

An ongoing Post Graduate Diploma Program in “Building & Property Management” is being offered by the De La Salle University Professional Schools, Inc.-Graduate School of Business in cooperation with the Philippine Association of Building Administrators, Inc. (PABA). Module 3 of the program entitled “Maintenance and Engineering Operations Management” will be scheduled starting January 13, 2009 and held every Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. at the 5th Floor, RCBC Plaza-De La Salle Campus corner Gil J. Puyat and Ayala Avenue, Salcedo Village, Makati City. This module provides an overview of the management of engineering operations and maintenance (EOM) functions in most properties handled by property managers. Recognizing that most property managers are not trained in engineering, it emphasizes strategies and techniques used in managing the EOM functions to ensure the safety of people and of the property.

This module envisions being a resource for maintenance management and reliability information. It offers EOM managers several simplified, practical problem-solving methods that use a number of structured steps to arrive accurately at the true source of a problem in order to eliminate it. Property managers learn how to eliminate 80-90 percent of all problems. The remaining 10-20 percent of the problems that are harder to solve should go through more structured problem solving, which requires facilitator support.

This professional diploma program is a series of seven specialized module courses with duration of 42 hours each module. It is designed for the trade professionals of the country’s building administrators and property managers of commercial buildings, malls and shopping centers, office and residential condominiums, industrial, institutional, educational, recreational, townhouse and subdivision development projects and also for those who wish to pursue a career in the building and property management industry.
