A Century of Professional Excellence
The Institute of Administrative Management (IAM) was founded in 1915 when the Office Machinery Users’ Association (OMUA) was convened by London School of Economics lecturer Lawrence Dicksee as a forum for the exchange of experience and ideas on the use of office equipment and systems.
From our founding during the First World War to our current position as a leader in professional development, the IAM has continuously evolved to meet the changing needs of the profession. Our motto, Non Sibi Sed Toti — Not for Oneself but for All — has guided the Institute since its earliest days.
The IAM is included on the UK Government’s HMRC List 3 of approved professional organisations and learned societies, which means that members may reclaim tax relief on their annual membership subscriptions provided that their IAM membership is relevant to their current employment duties.
Today, we offer 18 IAM Certified Programmes across two pathways, 300+ CPD courses across 11 categories, and professional membership grades from Affiliate to Fellow to deliver world-class professional development and continuing education.
