I liked that the simulation was practical and realistic. It helped me understand the different responsibilities of Facilities Management, including property inspections, life/safety, procurement, vendor management, business continuity, and maintenance. The questions and work-order scenarios made it easier to connect the concepts to real workplace situations.

I enjoyed the realistic, hands-on approach of the simulation. It provided practical insight into the responsibilities of a Facilities Manager, particularly vendor management, work order approvals, cost analysis, and project planning. The tasks were engaging and closely reflected real workplace scenarios.

I appreciated the opportunity to experience the process of arranging an everyday transaction that a facilities manager would typically handle. I had to critically think about the correct steps to organize the process and profits that would benefit both CBRE and the place that wanted to use their new LED lighting system.
