Description
Gain the knowledge and skills to design, implement and improve IT hardware asset management programmes with this focused 1-day IAITAM Certified Hardware Asset Management Professional (CHAMP) course.
Covering the full hardware asset lifecycle, from acquisition through to disposal. This course equips IT asset professionals to manage hardware efficiently, compliantly and cost-effectively.
Delivered live in our virtual classroom by an expert instructor. The certification is awarded by APMG International.
About this course
With IT budgets under constant pressure, the ability to find savings and maximise the value of hardware investments has never been more important. Organisations that manage hardware assets well know exactly what they have, where it is, what it costs and when to refresh or retire it. Those that don't face unnecessary spending, missed savings and compliance risk.
The CHAMP course follows the full lifecycle of IT hardware assets beyond the traditional "cradle to grave" framing, covering the business practices that enable efficient and cost-effective management at every stage. It places particular emphasis on policy development (cross-departmental, regularly reviewed and consistently enforced), hardware lifecycle management, auditing practices and disposal management an area that has received significant regulatory attention due to environmental obligations and the growing secondary usage market.
The CHAMP is recognised as essential learning for IT Asset Managers and other IT professionals responsible for hardware assets, resource budgeting, finance and strategic planning.

Design the architecture for an IT hardware asset management programme appropriate to your organisation's scale and needs

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a 1-day course — is that enough to prepare for an 85% pass mark exam?
The CHAMP is intentionally focused and intensive, covering hardware asset management as a discrete domain with well-defined scope. The 1-day format is appropriate for the depth of content at this specialisation level. That said, the 85% pass mark is demanding, and we strongly recommend reviewing your course materials and sitting the exam promptly while the content is fresh.
What is the disposal management content in this course?
Disposal management is given particular emphasis in the CHAMP curriculum, reflecting the growing importance of environmentally compliant and financially sound hardware disposal. The course covers the full decision-making process for disposal, the various disposal pathways available, cost-benefit analysis of disposal options, policy requirements for disposal, and the environmental and legal obligations that organisations must navigate.
How does CHAMP relate to CSAM and CMAM?
CHAMP, CSAM and CMAM are parallel IAITAM specialist certifications covering three different asset domains. Hardware, software and mobile respectively. They can be taken in any order and are not prerequisites for each other. Many organisations find value in having team members certified across multiple domains to build a comprehensive ITAM capability.
