The AMM is pleased to host the online NAMS+ Asset Management Training Program presented by NAMS Canada.

This is a proven training program designed specifically for municipal government employees to integrate the efforts of the disciplines of public works, finance, administration and political leaders towards preparing an Asset Management Plan for the organization.

Throughout the training, you will have the opportunity to “learn by doing” by utilizing your organization’s own asset data and the NAMS+ templates and modelling tools. The course was designed based on internationally accepted Asset Management best practices specifically as outlined in the International Infrastructure Management Manual (IIMM) and all training material is aligned with ISO 55000.

By attending the course sessions, and keeping up with the homework activities, you will have drafted an asset management plan for one asset class and be well equipped for moving forward with implementing an Asset Management system for your organization.

All sessions are interactive and can work with information provided by participants (if you do not have information for your community, we will provide sample data). Complimentary mentoring and feedback are available throughout the duration of the course.

Six sessions will be held over 4 weeks and they will be delivered virtually using Microsoft Teams.
