WPiAM has assessed certain certificates as being equivalent to the knowledge component of the CAMA Certificate, meaning if you have any of the following certificates, you do not need to take the CAMA Exam to apply for the CAMA Certification.

From 1st October 2024, we will only be issuing the new “CAMA2” Certification.

If you have one of the following certificates that was issued after 1st January 2018, and five+ years working experience in Asset Management, you may be eligible to apply for the CAMA2 Certification via Equivalency.  You will need to show you have understood the changes to ISO55001:2024 and GFMAM AM Landscape (3rd Edition) either by undertaking a gap training course and uploading your certificate, or be doing self study and completing the WPiAM CAMA2 Quiz.  If your equivalent certificate is more than six months old at the time of your application, you’ll need to show Continuing Professional Development (CPD) from the date of your equivalent certificate to the date you apply for the CAMA Certification.  WPiAM requires fifty (50) hours of CPD per three years (pro rata).  You can view the Guide for CPD to assist you in this process.

If you have one of the following certificates that was issued after 1st October 2024, and five+ years working experience in Asset Management, you may be eligible to apply for the CAMA2 Certification via Equivalency.
