Facilitator guidance and templates

This section provides information to assist people aspiring to become accredited facilitators and to help those who are accredited to keep abreast of current best practices.

DTF strongly advises Victorian Government agencies to use accredited facilitators to conduct IMS workshops.  

How to become an accredited facilitator

The process of becoming an accredited facilitator aims to test a person's understanding of the theory behind the standard and the way they apply it as a facilitator. Further information on the IMS facilitator training and accreditation process can be found on the Investment management facilitator training and accreditation page.

This series of facilitator reference guides provide practical tips and guidance to successfully facilitate workshops and prepare the relevant materials consistent with the Investment Management Standard 2017.
