IFEBP > Education > Certificate Programs > Foundations of Trust Management Standards

Foundations of Trust Management Standards (FTMS) is the first step in the trustee education path, focused on the needs of new Canadian multi-employer, public and corporate sector plan trustees. FTMS will help you understand the health and retirement needs of plan members while increasing your knowledge and awareness in the key areas of effective trust management: legal and regulatory issues, administration, governance and funding/investment and finance.

Virtual FTMS Option Available

Education Doesn't Need to Feel Daunting

This course provides the necessary tools to fulfill your responsibilities as a trustee and earn your FTMS certificate. You'll have an opportunity to network and share experiences with other new trustees while gaining the need-to-know skills to succeed in your role. The open-book, multiple-choice exam gives you time to review your notes and find the correct answers. Don't be intimidated—Over 90% of attendees pass on their first attempt!

FTMS was an excellent opportunity to begin learning about my role as an ELHT Trustee. Highly recommended.
