Hands-on with a real change you bring.

Why certify

Certify in the method that scores where change is at risk

AIM is a behavior-first, scored implementation methodology. Certification gives you the instruments and the language to diagnose where adoption stalls and to focus effort where it moves the odds, on any change you work on. For all formats, ACMP QEP details, and what you produce, see the full AIM certification page.

Join the weekly two-hour live virtual sessions across the cohort with an IMA facilitator.

Submit assignments and debrief
