I would like to share some feedback with you from international participants in the inaugural Professional Certificate in Infrastructure Financial Management (ProCertIFM) online course. This course is supported by IFME and presented by IPWEA.
Kevin Crook, Chief Innovation Officer: Algonquin, IL USA shared the following comments:<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p>
What did you find most valuable about the mentoring you experienced during the course?<o:p></o:p>
"My experience with IPWEA is that the instructors WANT you to understand and pass the course. As long as you are exhibiting effort, they have been very helpful along with the other students posting their thoughts too. Good course. I really wish more folks in our organization would take it along with the AMP."<o:p></o:p>
What did you find most relevant and useful?<o:p></o:p>
"The entire course. Honestly, the refresher on AMP and the bridge to Financials was awesome. I am looking forward to bringing this ideology to our organization with the Innovation team. We now have clear goals of how to steer our asset platform along with finance."
And from Megan Finnie, Manager Asset Strategy, Planning & Performance at Northern Beaches Council in NSW Australia:
What did you find most relevant and useful about the course?<o:p></o:p>
"The course strengthened my overall asset management knowledge. The link between finance and engineering is clear and well-spoken throughout the course. The course is tailored to cater for both the finance and engineering sides of asset management, and this course marries the two to show how the two worlds fit together. I also got a greater appreciation of the financial indicators required and can use these to help develop KPIs of our overall asset management performance."<o:p></o:p>
