IMI Accreditation is a voluntary assessment of an individual’s competence against accepted standards. All the accreditations offered have been developed in conjunction with the industry to enable practical and relevant assessments on day-to-day technical activities. Each accreditation route is designed using best practice techniques, and offers multiple career development options for a specific job role.

IMI Accreditation continually evolves to meet the changing needs of the industry, with each accreditation valid for three years, after which time an individual is required to undertake a new assessment either at the same level, next career level or a different route to prove their current competence.

BENEFITS

By providing proof of current competence, IMI Accreditation benefits both individuals and their employers. Individuals gaining accreditation receive: • An IMI Accredited certificate. • Inclusion on IMI Professional Register. • Industry-wide recognition of their skills and abilities. • Confidence. • Advice and guidance for development. • An opportunity for career progression.
