The Āpōpō portfolio of digital badges supports the development of many of the core competencies expected of professional asset managers in Aotearoa New Zealand, aligned with the Āpōpō Guide.

This page shows how our courses also map to other international frameworks. If your organisation uses one of these frameworks, you can easily see how Āpōpō’s online learning fits into your approach to capability development.

Mapping to the ISO 5500x Suite of Standards

The ISO 5500x suite of standards sets the international benchmark for asset management. The standards provide an overview of asset management, its principles and terminology, and the expected benefits from adopting asset management.

Āpōpō digital badges support learning across many of the concepts and requirements described in the ISO 55000 series. This mapping helps demonstrate how Āpōpō online learning can contribute to building the knowledge and capability needed to align with ISO-based asset management systems.

Mapping to the GFMAM Asset Management Landscape

The GFMAM Asset Management Landscape outlines the key subjects and capabilities essential for effective asset management practice. Recognised globally, it provides a common structure that helps organisations plan strategy, workforce development, and training.

Āpōpō has mapped its digital badge portfolio to the 40 subjects in the GFMAM Landscape (Third Edition), so learners and organisations can clearly see how each course supports capability development across the full breadth of asset management.

Mapping to the IAM Competencies Framework

The IAM Competencies Framework defines the knowledge and skills required to be effective in asset management roles, across five key discipline areas. It’s used to support workforce planning, professional development, and certification.

Āpōpō’s digital badges align with many of the competency areas outlined in the IAM Framework. This mapping helps individuals and organisations understand how Āpōpō’s courses contribute to building capability in line with globally recognised professional standards.

Mapping to the IIMM 

The IPWEA International Infrastructure Management Manual (IIMM) recognises that where the ISO Standards are the “What to do”, the IIMM provides the “How to do it” in terms of applying the standards for infrastructure asset management. 

As co-authors of the IIMM until 2023, Āpōpō was perflectly placed to align with the IIMM structure. This mapping helps learners and organisations understand how Āpōpō courses support progressive skill development that complements IPWEA’s structure in the IIMM.
