- Asset Managers with technical accountability (not only corporate portfolio level)
What will you develop?
- A shared language: value, alignment, leadership and line-of-sight
- Role awareness: responsibilities and interfaces across disciplines

What is WPiAM and what do “AAMC / CTAM” mean?
WPiAM (World Partners in Asset Management) is an international partnership of professional not-for-profit asset management associations that maintains a global certification scheme to support globally comparable asset management competence.
Within the scheme, different levels exist, including:
- AAMC (Awareness in Asset Management Certificate): an awareness level intended to build shared language and foundational understanding of asset management.
- CTAM (Certified Technical Specialist in Asset Management): a technical specialist level for people proficient in applying specific and essential asset management activities within a relevant domain.
SSAMM is a Recognised Training Partner (RTP) and provides WPiAM-aligned education supporting competence development and portfolio readiness. However, the official WPiAM designation/certification is awarded externally under the WPiAM scheme via endorsed certifying organisations.
Certificate and boundary
- Upon completion, the participant receives a SSAMM course certificate (completion/attendance).
- As a Recognised Training Partner (RTP), SSAMM may also issue the AAMC certificate within the training domain in accordance with the applicable RTP framework.
- This AAMC certificate issued by SSAMM is separate from the WPiAM designation and does not constitute a designation judgement or designation decision.
- The WPiAM AAMC designation and the related designation certificate are awarded exclusively externally under the applicable WPiAM scheme
In-company (for organisations)
AAMC can also be delivered as an in-company pathway for teams implementing or strengthening Asset Management and aiming to establish shared language and role clarity.
