The IMS Certificate is a professional qualification for people who are serious about improving productivity.
This course requires IMS membership and should be taken only after you have attended Module 1.
Time Study is the original technique of work measurement, simple in concept though it does require a high degree of concentration and expertise on the part of the observer. Direct Time Study is the technique principally used for the measurement of repetitive work, ie it follows a defined pattern and method.
This is a week of intense Time Study practical work leading to an examination from the IMS; the course involves arithmetical calculations and requires numeracy and logic.
Successful delegates are awarded the industry standard IMS Time Study Practical certificate. They also receive a Scott-Grant Performance Rating card, which is valid for one year; it can be re-certified via successful attendance on a Scott-Grant Rating Clinic.
