Course overview

Jacobs' Asset Management Training course was launched in 2015 and to date has been delivered to 1,800 participants (and growing!) in North America and the U.K. The course is split into the following five modules that align with good practice asset management as outlined in ISO 55000, PAS 55 and the IAM’s learning framework:

  • Module 1 - Introduction to Asset Management
  • Module 2 - Asset Related Risk
  • Module 3 - Asset Management Life Cycle
  • Module 4 - Asset Information
  • Module 5 - Financial and Business Impacts (including Asset Management Plans)

The course has been designed and refined to include the application of adult learning techniques – employing a mix of presentation and theory, real world stories and working exercises and targets people who have some asset management experience. Course attendees will find themselves applying asset management techniques to “MoneyPit Manor,” a fictional apartment building that is facing a number of infrastructure and service delivery challenges that infrastructure owners and asset managers would typically face, with the working exercises based on real data.

“Jacobs delivered Asset Management Certificate training and examinations to approximately 100 staff from our Supply Chain Operations division. This was a key component of our ISO 55000 Asset Management Framework implementation. Jacobs tailored the course with specific examples from Network Rail and other industry sectors that made the course relevant and engaging to the delegates. By running the courses in parallel with the wider asset management improvement program, we successfully achieved the collective benefits of raised staff awareness and competence, embedment of new governance processes and stimulating constructive challenge for continuously improvement.”
