IPWEA believes that with an increasing focus on the value for money proposition in response to changing circumstances while managing risk and resilience of existing infrastructure, there is a growing need for all asset intensive organisations to address the issue of long-term sustainable service delivery.
The Asset Management Foundations course will build capacity for any asset intensive organisation while increasing your own understanding of the asset management discipline.
