Competency Scale

The application form will ask you to identify your level of technical competency on a scale: Entry-Level, Learning, or Competent or Higher. Here's what those terms mean:

  • "Entry-Level" means you have limited practical experience in this subject area. You may have theoretical knowledge but would require significant guidance and supervision to perform tasks related to this competency.
  • "Learning" means that you are actively engaged in acquiring new knowledge and skills related to this subject area. You use some language and terminology consistent with ISO 550XX. You can perform simple tasks related to the subject area under supervision. 
  • "Competent or Higher" means that you demonstrate a solid understanding of the subject. You can perform tasks related to the subject independently and with confidence. You may also be proficient beyond the competency requirements, demonstrating problem-solving skills, innovation and leadership. 
Success Criteria

There are 46 competencies in the application form.

The AMA is a self-assessment which does not require supporting evidence. However, this self-assessment is a stepping stone to becoming an Asset Management Chartered Professional (AMCP), allowing you to see which competencies need further development.

Artefacts

The AMA application does not require evidence / artefacts to support your application. 

However, two letters of support are required, speaking to your commitment to asset management and your good character.

You will also need to upload your current CV, so we understand a little about your background and experience.
