Organizations rely on assets to achieve their strategic goals, and the way these assets are managed directly impacts operational efficiency, financial performance, and long-term sustainability. Poor asset management can result in higher costs, operational inefficiencies, compliance risks, and reduced asset value. Effective asset management promotes informed decision-making, clear accountability, and efficient use of resources — all vital for maintaining stakeholder confidence and enhancing organizational resilience.
The ISO 55001 Lead Implementer certification is ideal for managers or consultants involved in asset management, individuals seeking to master the implementation of an AMS, individuals responsible for maintaining conformity with ISO 55001 requirements in an organization, and members of an AMS implementation team. This course is designed for professionals seeking to design, build, implement, and manage organizational Business Continuity Management Systems.
By the end of the training course, participants will be able to: (1) Explain the fundamental concepts and principles of an AMS based on ISO 55001, (2) Interpret ISO 55001 requirements for an AMS from the perspective of an implementer, (3) Initiate and plan the implementation of an AMS based on ISO 55001 utilizing PECB's IMS2 Methodology and best practices, and (4) Apply best practices to support the ongoing effectiveness and improvement of the AMS based on ISO 55001, including interpretation of requirements for an ISO 55001 certification audit.
The ISO 55001 Lead Implementer course is structured over 5 days: Day 1 covers Introduction to ISO 55001 and initiation of an AMS implementation. Day 2 covers Implementation plan of an AMS. Day 3 covers Implementation of an AMS. Day 4 covers Performance evaluation, continual improvement, and preparation for the certification audit. Day 5 is the Certification exam. The course includes over 450 pages of training materials, practical examples, and quizzes designed to prepare participants for implementation projects.
The PECB ISO 55001 Lead Implementer exam covers seven competency domains: (1) Fundamental principles and concepts of an asset management system, (2) Initiation of an AMS implementation, (3) Planning of an AMS implementation based on ISO 55001, (4) Implementation of an AMS based on ISO 55001, (5) Evaluation of the performance of an AMS based on ISO 55001, (6) Continual improvement of an AMS based on ISO 55001, and (7) Preparation for an AMS certification audit.
