Awards
Updated 10 October 2007
Jane Wiggins, BIFM Business Manager and principal tutor at BPP Profession Education is proud to add her congratulations to BPP student Paul White who was awarded the BIFM Student of the Year 2007 at the BIFM Annual Gala Awards Dinner at the Grosvenor Hotel on 8th October 2007.
“There are considerable benefits to distance learning, not least of which is the flexibility it offers the student. The quality of the BPP BIFM workbooks and the support network offered by BPP make distance learning even more attractive in the current hectic business climate. Sometimes though there is a need for interaction with other students and tutors and the BPP Revision Workshops fulfil this need. Depending on where you are in the exam programme, the workshops offer the chance to learn exam techniques; to help you focus on critical areas; to reassure you that you are on track, boosting your confidence; to plan for the dreaded day; or just simply to share experiences with other students facing the same concerns. Wherever you are in the BIFM exam route, you should consider making the Revision Workshop an essential part of your success.”
Paul White, Project Manager, RAF Henlow: BIFM Student of the Year 2007
Jane comments “it’s fantastic to see the students efforts rewarded at the Gala Dinner. Our former students, Alison Cousins and Judi Hall raised our awareness of the Awards, winning in 2004 and 2006 respectively. With over 100 students on our homestudy programme at any one time, it’s important to give them the best advice and support to help them achieve success in the national examinations. Whilst it’s tough to sit the complete set of examinations in one sitting, knowing that you may get the Award, can give that extra incentive to a student to really excel in their ability to respond to the Examiners tough questions.
BPP’s pass rates continue to be excellent, with the recent June series achieving a 97% pass rate for the Part I examinations and an 88% for the Part II examinations.

BIFM Completed Part 1 and Part 2 Students were presented with copies of their certificates at the AGM on 24th September at Barclays Bank plc Canary Wharf Headquarters. Valerie Everitt, Director of Professional Standards and Education at the BIFM gave a short presentation to the membership about the value of the Examination Certificate and the work and effort involved by working FMs in achieving successful completion of the three exams at Part 1 and the four exams at Part 2. Each student was presented their certificate by Ian Felder, the BIFM CEO.
BPP students collecting their certificate included Kem Eze, Karmian Wright, Rishi Sharma, Allison Cook, Mark Cheeseman, and Natasha McFadzean.
The presentation at the AGM gives an even greater recognition to this achievement, and we hope that the BIFM will continue to use this event in future years for student certificate presentations.
Attendees of the event also enjoyed an amusing yet alarming presentation by the futurist Dr James Bellini, as he gave us an insight into the nature of the built environment and the workplace of the future.
BPP Programme manager, Jane Wiggins, gave a short presentation at the London Region Event in April. - pictured below are the ten students proudly displaying their certificates. BPP students from left to right are Grant Hall, Andrew Birtwistle, Fiona Ross, Sam Keane, Maria de Bonis, Tracey Peacock, and Nancy Clack. The next certificate presentation events will be in your regions in September / October.
