Seeking members for our new Qualifications for Membership Review Group

This group has been established to review and approve new qualifications recognised for the award of Membership (MFPM), and for the periodic review of qualifications already approved.

The principal responsibilities of the group are to:

  • Review new qualifications using the agreed criteria and make recommendations for the acceptance of these qualifications for MFPM
  • Review currently approved qualifications at least every three years to confirm if there have been any changes to the course content or assessment since the qualification was approved
  • Undertake research, as needed, to support the recommendations made and to identify qualifications for review

This committee is chaired by a Member of the Membership Committee, and works closely with FPM’s Head of Membership, Sarah Davis.

We are seeking members for this review group and all Affiliates, Associates, Members and Fellows are eligible to apply.

FPM initially set up a working group to expand the list of qualifications recognised for Membership (MFPM) and this new permanent group will continue on from their work, find out more here.
