Why join the IMA?
“Being a member of the Institute of Money Advisers (IMA) has allowed me to gain a recognised qualification and has ensured my knowledge and skills have remained up-to-date through the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme. I value having access to the Quarterly Account archive when handling complex debt cases and enjoy attending training courses run by the experts in the field.”
Michael Egan MIMA (Cert), Citizens Advice St. Helens
“As the only money adviser in a small social housing setting the IMA provides me with a valuable network of colleagues that I can get advice and support from as well as having access to relevant and up to date training and resources. The CertMAP qualification has given me the confidence and skills to carry out my work effectively, supporting my clients to the best of my ability.”
Katy Burdis AIMA (Cert), Ashton Pioneer Homes
“I believe the IMA is essential for debt advisers. It provides both a forum and a platform for advisers to sustain and develop independent client centred debt advice. It is the only organisation to do this across the sector. It offers us the opportunity as practitioners to potentially affect both policy and practice. It has been invaluable throughout my career, keeping me in touch with other advisers at a regional and national level.”
Steve Quinn MIMA (Cert), Salford City Council Welfare Rights and Debt Advice Service
“Although I am a volunteer it is important to me that the advice I give is of a professional standard. Becoming a member of the IMA enabled me to get a nationally recognised qualification that requires continued training and development to remain certified. This enables me to be more confident about the advice I give as well as demonstrating to my clients that the advice is coming from a qualified adviser.”
Andy Bolam MIMA (Cert), Citizens Advice South Warwickshire
