FMI generally
recommends participants take a period over 18 to 24 months to complete this
qualification. Although face-to-face training itself can start at one day per
unit this time frame allows for further study and for development of assessment
projects. Most people in FMI’s programs are very busy and this seems an
appropriate time frame.
The program can
be completed sooner depending on experience and prior learning. Participants
can speed up the process if they have prior learning in part of the program and
recognition of prior learning arrangements are
available.
The Certificate
IV is available through FMI through the following options. Participants and
organisations can use one of the options or can choose a blend of more than one
option:
- Public Courses
- Open Learning
- Recognition Processes: Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL) and Recognition of Current Competency (RCC)
- Corporate Courses: Custom tailored
in-house programs for organisations

in-house programs for organisations
FMI tailors programs to meet the specific needs of
organisations. We partner with organisations and deliver great results. FMI
presents in-house programs in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland and
other locations by arrangement.
We train and use Mentors within the organisation to ensure
that management competency is demonstrated that is appropriate to the needs of
the organisation. Participants carry out workplace projects for assessment that
are designed to create real benefits for the organisation and are signed off by
their Mentors and by their line managers.
Return on Investment (ROI) can be measured and often
delivers a positive cash flow to the organisation. Knowledge gained through
project work can be shared among other managers using FMI’s unique Knowledge
Bank © system.
Working with corporate and government clients over many
years we have developed a range of strategies and techniques that optimise the
effectiveness of management development. As the leading specialists in this
area we have a focus on performance improvement that delivers real and
measurable benefits to both participants and to their organisations.
Corporate customised programs can include the appropriate
blend of courses, workshops, open learning and recognition processes to suit
your organisation. Current courses delivered in-house can be retained within
the program if they are appropriate and working well.
