IAM Diploma

The IAM Diploma is a more advanced qualification which

focuses on breadth and depth of knowledge and
understanding, along with the application of professional
judgment in practice. The Diploma is currently the highest-
level qualification awarded by the IAM.

Who is the IAM Diploma for?

The Diploma is more advanced than the IAM Certificate, aimed at those with prior
knowledge and experience of asset management, typically working in or preparing for
specialist or management roles in asset management. There are no entry requirements for
the qualification and it is not essential to be an IAM member, however, registration with the
IAM is required. Please ensure you are logged in before applying for the IAM Diploma.
