IEMA Frequently Asked Questions...
What are the ways of studying for an IEMA qualification?
Both the AIEMA and PIEMA courses can be completed online via a virtual classroom, or in-person at our training centre in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire. We will also be launching fully virtual distanced learning for both courses very soon, where delegates will have access to all the AIEMA/PIEMA course content on our online learning platform, allowing you to learn at your own pace on a schedule that suits you. Keep an eye out for announcements!
Are there any entry requirements for an IEMA course?
The AIEMA course has no entry requirements. For the PIEMA course you will need a foundation level of environmental and/or sustainability knowledge gained through work experience or a relevant course, such as the Foundation Certificate in Environmental Management.
How are IEMA courses assessed?

-
Learners will be continually assessed and undertake a one-hour open-book multiple choice exam at the end of the course. Upon successful completion, IEMA will provide details on how to become an Associate Member. Associate Member of IEMA (AIEMA).
Associate Members can enjoy benefits such as the use of the AIEMA professional suffix, the opportunity to connect globally with sustainability professionals, and having access to a wealth of tools and resources. If you are already a member, you will receive a free 12-month extension.
PIEMA

The assessment for modules 1-3 of this course is through knowledge-based written assignments. Delegates then need to complete an Assessment of Competence, which must be submitted to IEMA for marking after all other modules have been successfully completed. This demonstrates how the knowledge learnt has been practically applied within the workplace.
Once the assessment is successfully completed, you will receive a certificate and will be sent details of how to join IEMA as a Practitioner Member, including your PIEMA professional suffix and all other benefits that come with being a member of a professional body.
What happens if I fail my IEMA assessment?
