The Immovable Asset Management Programme (IAMP) is an intensive five-day course which is facilitated by CEA. Immovable asset management, within the context of legal requirements, is of particular importance to public, state owned entities and private sector employees. This programme has been designed to benefit new entrants to the asset management environment, and to enable current asset management practitioners and management to improve their understanding and gain appreciation of the current asset management systems-approach ushered in with the introduction of ISO 55000 and other best practices. The objective of the course is to cover the proven generic areas of immovable asset management and to enhance general management and leadership skills. On completion of the course, delegates should be able to utilise the relevant concepts of immovable asset management and contribute to future development of immovable asset management as a strategic tool in their workplaces. The contents of the course are broad based and supported by extensive course material which is included in your course package.

FAQs
In terms of the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC) Framework for Delegated, Functions, Higher Education Institutions (HEI) have the quality authority to ensure their Short, Learning Programmes (SLPs) and the certification is thus also SAQA compliant.
Yes, the courses offered by CEA are qualifications. They are registered in terms of the Council for Higher Education guidelines.
No education institution determines which qualifications any professional body considers for credits when receiving an application for registration/accreditation in a specific category. You have to approach the institution from which you seek registration/accreditation and request them to consider your qualifications/credits for registration/accreditation.
The fee includes all lectures, all the study material, the test and assignment evaluation and the certification.
Our programmes are stand-alone learning units/packages. Our objective is to provide delegates with a meaningful body of knowledge that can be utilised in practice after the completion of a programme. The programmes are not structured to be “building blocks” for other qualifications. It is a practical career-enhancing learning experience. However, HR Practitioners and other interested parties can assess the “learning weight” of the programmes and acknowledge that when assessing the knowledge standing of an applicant or employee.
Your company has to go through the normal Skills Development Planning, claims, etc. as required by your relevant SETA. The CEA Short Courses are offered in collaboration with HEIs/universities that have duly registered the courses with the Council for Higher Education (CHE). CEA has been presenting courses in collaboration with HEIs for more than a decade and employers have always followed the SETA route without problems. However, we are not in control of decision-making at the SETA but are not aware of any constraints.
When an institution/university offers training it should be done on a certain NQF level, carrying a specific amount of credits, expressed as notional hours. One notional hour is ten learning hours. THUS, 16 credits represent 160 learning hours. The NQF level is determined by the training/education provider when offering training/education and conforms to the national Department of Education/NQF system for levels and credits. It is a universal scale used by all industries and all institutions in SA. NQF level 6 is on the university B-degree level.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Points are not determined by the Department of Education and the systems used are not universal. The most important aspect is that EACH professional body for each profession decides for itself how it wants to structure its CPD requirements. Some may require 30 points a year and others 100 points per year. These requirements do not “speak” to each other as each body is at liberty to require and structure their CPD points according to their own preference. They decide the numbers and the values attached to options acceptable for earning CPD points for their profession. CEA cannot answer this question regarding how many CPD points can be earned. Only the institution from which you want to earn the CPD points (which are then logged into their database for each person) can advise what they will award, for say, a course presented by a university on NQF level 6: 16 Credits. THUS, send the promotional information regarding the CEA Short Courses to the relevant institutions to award the CPD points; CEA cannot decide on their behalf what they should accept and what value system they should use. It differs for different professions.
The courses require that candidates have matriculated. Applicants that do not hold a matric certificate may also apply and request to be allowed on strength of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). Thus experience-based.
Every institution or organisation in the world (also South Africa) decides individually what education and training from anywhere in the world are acceptable to them. No “country” as a whole has a “blanket” acceptance policy, not even automatic acceptance of SA matriculants for university study. Each body applies its own criteria and accepts what they see fit. However, a certificate, diploma, degree, etc which are issued by a registered HEI/university will obviously enjoy more favourable evaluation.
