Apply to become an Endorsed Trainer
Invitation to Apply
The Institute of Asset Management (IAM) wishes to appoint suitable training providers to deliver courses. These are based on identified training requirements related to the current version of the IAM Competence Framework (as published in November 2008) and complementing the requirements of BSI PAS 55:2008.
On appointment they are known as Endorsed Trainers or ETP (Endorsed Training Providers). There is no limit on the number of ETP either in a given territory or overall: any applicant that can meet our requirements will be entitled to endorsement.
ETP are granted the right to issue training certificates endorsed by the IAM to individuals who successfully complete the courses. It is intended that these training certificates may be presented to support applications for individual membership of the IAM (or for similar purposes elsewhere). They may also grant the holder exemption from accredited qualifications, which are currently under development (based on the IAM Competence Framework).
The IAM will promote the availability of Endorsed Training and we will forward enquiries for training to ETP to supplement the results of their own marketing efforts. Endorsed Training Providers are entitled to use IAM branding subject to agreeing terms and conditions of use.
The IAM would like to invite you to consider becoming an ETP.
The Endorsed Training Scheme first launched in October 2009 and the first appointments were announced in February 2010. Some additional appointments were announced in the summer of 2010 and the Scheme is now open for applications at any time. Depending on the volume of work, the time taken to process applications may vary and this will be agreed with applicants on receipt of their completed applications.
In order to be considered, by that date you must be a full Corporate[1] Member of the IAM.

Frequently asked questions
Endorsed Training Scheme
- "Remit" - as used in Clause 26 of Scheme Document
In Methodology, Clause b says "How you do you propose to meet the requirements set out in the remits?" This should be interpreted as Course Requirements or Schedule of Courses.
- Confidentiality & Process (ETS)
Some potential ETPs have asked about what happens to submitted material. It is given only to CEO and a disinterested contractor. If it becomes necessary for additional review (perhaps to access specific domain knowledge), you will be informed. The current intention is that such review will be carried out by a small group of experts, who will see but not be able to take copies of the material. This detailed process will be discussed with you and carried out only with your agreement.
- Pricing (ETS)
'Volume' means the number of modules included whether within 8 courses or a single course. So a course covering modules B1-B6 incl would cost £1,000 Application Fee (one-off), £500 on appointment and annually, £50 for each composite pass certificate issued (per candidate). Whereas a course covering module A2 only would cost £500 Application Fee (one-off), £100 on appointment and annually, £10 for each pass certificate issued (per candidate).
