Proven Knowledge. Recognised Certification. No Exam Needed.

Achieve the globally recognised CAMA Certification through Recognised Prior Learning (RPL), based on your career experience and qualifications.

What is CAMA via Recognized Prior Learning?

The Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA) Certification is a globally recognised credential that demonstrates an individual’s expertise in asset management assessment. Traditionally, professionals have achieved this certification by passing the CAMA Exam or holding an equivalent endorsed certificate and demonstrating relevant experience through their professional profile.

Now, WPiAM is introducing a new pathway: CAMA via Recognised Prior Learning (RPL). This pathway allows experienced asset management professionals to achieve CAMA Certification without the need for an exam or additional study. Instead, candidates provide supporting evidence from their career, qualifications, and practical experience to demonstrate their competency.

CAMA via RPL is designed for seasoned professionals who have years of hands-on experience in asset management and want to gain formal recognition of their skills and knowledge. By aligning with the ISO 55001:2024 standard and the GFMAM Assessor Specification, this pathway ensures that successful applicants meet the same high standards as those who successfully complete the traditional CAMA Exam.

If you have proven knowledge and experience in asset management and are ready to take the next step in your career, CAMA via RPL offers a streamlined, exam-free way to gain industry-recognised certification.

FAQs

  • How much does it cost?  CAMA via RPL is a flat fee of US$500/application.  Payment can be made via credit card through the secure portal, or via bank transfer.  Applications will not be processed until payment has been made in full.

  • What is the Refund Policy for CAMA via RPL?  There are no refunds for CAMA via RPL applications; this is because once a candidate applies, the WPiAM office starts work on the RPL process.

  • How long do I have to supply my documents? Candidates have one month to supply all required supporting evidence.

  • How long is the review process?  The review process can take up to four weeks.  This is due to the special RPL Committee that is formed for each individual application.

  • What if I’m not successful?  Candidates who are not successful in their CAMA via RPL application are encouraged to review their feedback, and work towards filling the gaps in required knowledge.  Candidates may reapply at a future date when they believe that have addressed gaps in knowledge or choose to write the CAMA exam to demonstrate their knowledge.

  • Why CAMA via RPL and not the other pathways?  CAMA via RPL is ideal for candidates who have extensive experience in Asset Management but do not wish to sit the CAMA Exam, and/or do not have an endorsed equivalent certificate.
