The IMA is always striving to make training more accessible, including seeking sponsors to fund free or reduced cost training.

Currently the following free or reduced cost training opportunities are available:

• Free training places for some MaPS funded advisers
• IMA-subsidised training places for non-MaPS-funded IMA members
• Free training places for Welsh Government funded debt advisers
• Free training for Non-Practising and Trainee members

See below for full details. 

Free training places for some MaPS-funded advisers

We are once again delighted to be able to offer TWO FREE training place per MaPS funded adviser for IMA training courses running from April 2022 to January 2023. This funding is only available for advisers funded under mainstream MaPS projects.

Places are limited, so please book now to avoid disappointment. Here is a link to our upcoming courses, from which you can make a booking

IMA-subsidised training places for non-MaPS funded IMA Members

We are once again offering an IMA subsidy for non-MaPS funded members. This applies only to full day courses.

The subsidy is £45 per courses and reduces the amount payable to only £50. This is limited to two subsidised courses per eligible member and is subject to availability. To claim a subsidised place please select a non-MaPS funded subsidised place in the fee box on the online booking form.

Book now to avoid disappointment.

Free training places for Welsh Government funded debt advisers

We are now offering free training places for Welsh Government funded debt advisers on courses running from August 2022 to January 2023.

This funding is extremely limited, and places can be booked by emailing training@i-m-a.org.uk

Free training for Non-Practising and Trainee members

If you are an IMA member in the Non-Practising or Trainee categories and there is a course that you want to attend, email training@i-m-a.org.uk in the morning no more than two working days prior to the course date. If there is an unallocated place available, you can book it free of charge.

We are unable to guarantee that free places will be available on a particular course; if it is very important that you attend, we advise you to book a chargeable place using the normal booking process.

• Auriga
• Grant Thornton
