Plan Your Training with IFMA
You have member interest. Now let's turn it into a plan.
Once you have a sense of what your members want, connect with IFMA. You do not need to have the format, instructor, location or pricing figured out before reaching out.
We’ll help you work through the options and build a training experience that fits your members.
Choose your training format
Instructor-led training A structured classroom experience led by an IFMA Qualified Instructor (IQI). Instructor-led training gives members opportunities to ask questions, learn together and build connections throughout the course.
Study group
A more informal approach for members working through an IFMA program together. Participants take a greater role in creating accountability, staying on pace and supporting one another.
Tip: Start with your local network
IFMA can help you check to see if you have a local qualified instructor in your area. Reach out to us for support.
Let's build the plan together
Once the format is clear, we’ll help you work through the practical details:
- Credential program choice
- Audience and expected participation
- Instructor, if needed
- Timing and schedule
- Location or virtual setup
- Pricing
- Registration
- Roles and responsibilities
Think about accessibility before revenue
You receive group training pricing and determine what participants will pay. Most keep participant pricing as close to cost as possible, while others will build in scholarships for those who need assistance with affording training.
Some may also use sponsors to reduce the cost for participants.
Generating profitability should not be the goal. Local training can create lasting value by helping your members build skills, pursue credentials and feel more connected.
