As of January 4, 2021, BOMI has made the following changes to their educational experience for both the RPA and FMA designations:

Course exams:

  • All course exams will now be taken in BOMI's learning portal
  • Learners can take their exam immediately after finishing their course no scheduling is needed
  • No travel time or expense, saving seven visits to a Pearson VUE testing center
  • Course exams are timed, but not proctored, reducing test anxiety

Capstone Experience Form

We've modified the RPA® and FMA® Experience Form for the Capstone program to require employment verification history only. 

·         No notary required

·         No employer skill-evaluation required

The Capstone Experience Exam

Maintaining program integrity and credibility is the highest priority for BOMI International. Under the new program, once all RPA® and/or FMA® course requirements are complete, learners will take a culminating RPA®/FMA® Capstone Experience Exam. The RPA®/FMA® Capstone Experience Exam includes:

·         Two-hour, 100-question multiple-choice exam 

·         Proctored exam to be taken at Pearson VUE 

·         Questions are application-based, using scenarios that rely on the learners' three years of experience in commercial property and facility management

·         Optional Online Self-Paced Capstone Experience Exam prep courses are available for the RPA® and FMA®

What if I am currently enrolled in the RPA® or FMA® designation?

Current learners can opt-in to the new Capstone Experience program. Those who wish to stay with their current program have until December 31, 2021, to complete their designation. New learners as of January 1, 2022, will automatically be enrolled in the Capstone Experience program.
