| SAAMA Certificate for Physical Asset Management Practitioners (SCPP) | CPD Ref: SAAMA00158
0.5 CPD Credits |
SAAMA regards the PAS 55 standard as an important guideline for ongoing growth in terms of physical asset managment maturity. Therefore we maintain a set of standards against which the skill and knowledge of individual PAM practitioners and consultants can be measured.
This measurement aims to provide a realistic and objective indication to industry as to the capability of the individual to support and facilitate the process of ongoing growth towards full PAM system maturity.
Individuals are then measured against the set of standards by means of a conventional written examination, and certified as such upon meeting the SAAMA minimum requirements. | Contact Person:
