Managers
learn best at work...
The International Management Centres Association (IMCA)
is a professional association established in 1964 and a corporation
noble granted the right to arms in the UK by the sovereign in
1985. IMCA conducts workplace action learning and awards professional
qualifications. IMCA's work is supported by a distinguished Court
of Honorary Members and work with more than 60 corporations around
the globe. This experience led to the creation of IMCA Socrates™
- the workplace action learning system for management development
and professional certification.

The IMCA Socrates™ 'Accrediting managers at
work' scheme recognizes and certifies workplace action learning.
Unlike other business systems, users are not required to adhere
to a standard designed by others. The aim is to use action learning
and then to report on the improvements that arise, via a self
review format. The scheme is designed to integrate with training
and with any type of business activity. Here, professional credit
is allocated for applications that yield solutions to workplace
issues. By linking inputs and their corresponding outputs, action
learners accumulate credit until they have met the certification
requirements. The time involved varies from several months to
a year.
