A short introduction to our programmes, the FMA accreditation framework and online certificate verification.

FMA Accreditation System

A professional development framework that records structured learning as verified hours. Each programme is reviewed and given a set number of FMA Accredited Hours, and your hours build up in your personal record.

FMA levels are an internal learning framework. They are not a regulated qualification or an external professional membership.
