What is WPiAM GCS or Global Certification Scheme?

GCS or Global Certification Scheme is a framework developed by the World Partners in Asset Management (WPiAM) in keeping with its vision of “Globally recognised Asset Management credentials”.

Ter seu conhecimento, habilidades e experiência em gestão de ativos reconhecidos por um padrão global oferece inúmeros e extensos benefícios ao longo de sua jornada profissional de gestão de ativos.

GCS is a framework for alignment of professional credentials in Asset Management to which professional bodies, post-secondary and training institutions around the world can align over time.

With the introduction of this framework, the members of the WPiAM are seeking to align worldwide efforts to develop, assess and recognize competence in Asset Management and to establish a system of assurance of quality while respecting the needs for variation of application according to the history and culture of each region in the development of this evolving professional field.

The process for recognizing the equivalence of specific credentials will be administered by the WPiAM. The process to recognize individuals’ accreditation to any of the WPiAM’s framework credentials will be administered by the organisation that owns the certification scheme that has been approved. Each credential will require demonstration of education as well as evidence of competence in practical application. Further details will be announced as they evolve.
