The IAM Asset Management Foundation Award Course
Asset Management Foundation Course
This is a CPD certified course that provides an introduction to asset management.
Based on three modules with award of an awe! certificate and CPD points on successful completion.
The Foundation Award course also enables you to secure the Institute of Asset Management’s Asset Management Foundation Award certificate.
The Learning
This course provides a great foundation in understanding the basic concepts, language and significant benefits organisations gain from an Asset Management approach. It also introduces the content and role of the International Standards for AM (ISO 55000).
The course sets out the basis for adopting an asset management approach, what it entails and the key determinants for success.
The course also enables learners to see how asset management involves everyone in the organisation and how their role may be directly or indirectly impacted.
On successful completion of the course’s three modules and recommended reading, the learner will be fully prepared to take the Institute of Asset Management’s (IAM) Knowledge Test. This is incorporated as the final step and, on achieving a pass marked of 66% or higher, the learner will be issued with the IAM’s Foundation Award certificate.

The IAM knowledge test
Once the modules and reading have been completed access will be given to the Institute of Asset Management’s (IAM’s) Foundation Award knowledge test.
It’s a ‘pass or fail’ test that requires a 66% or higher mark to pass.
The Recommended Further Reading
Once the modules have been completed, the reading will round off the learning and deepen your understanding in preparation for the Knowledge Test.
Reading will take 40-60 mins but take as long as you need, and you can read more widely if you wish.
Once you have completed the Foundation course then there is a progression course that may be taken as a continuation from the three modules of the Foundation course and so provide you with all of the basic principles of asset management in the remaining 11 modules. This can be taken instead of the full Certificate course. See course details here.
