Why change the current system? • Raise standards • Consistent standard of IAM training across the country • Market forces • Neutralise future threats to the way IAM and local groups operate • Telling the DSA we are good enough may no longer be sufficient • Elevating the perception of IAM advanced training away from ’A bunch of amateurs’

  6. National Observer Assessment • IAM Staff Examiner using IMI standards • Ideally using a real associate • Questions on elements the examiner may not have been able to see • Quality of assessments will be verified by IAM(all paperwork and some tests) • In the event of failing a module, 3 month window from date of first test to pass failed module. Outside 3 months window have to re-sit all of the test • Periodically Re-qualify (possibly every 5 years) with Staff Examiner

  7. Local observer(?) • Assessed by group examiner holding National Observer qualification against IMI standards • Ideally using a real associate • Questions on elements the examiner may not have been able to see • Quality of assessments will be verified by IAM staff examiner (paperwork and some tests) • Unclear if re-qualification needed over time
