Certificate and Examination Preparatory Courses > Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA) Certification Preparatory Course

About Certified Asset Management Assessor (CAMA)

The CAMA exam and associated CAMA certification was developed by World Partners in Asset Management, a partnership of non-profit professional associations including the Asset Management Council (Australia), ABRAMAN (Brazil), Gulf Society for Maintenance & Reliability (Gulf Region), JAAM (Japan), SAAMA (Southern Africa) and PEMAC (Canada). Through ISO 17021-5, the International Standards Organization has recognized that individuals assessing or auditing organizations’ Asset Management systems to ISO 5500x require background knowledge in Asset Management. The goal of the Certified Asset Management Assessor certification process, therefore, is to help individuals who are interested in serving as asset management assessors to demonstrate they have the necessary asset management knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge of ISO 5500x, to serve as part of an ISO 5500x certification-of-organizations process.
