Master of Trust Management Standards (MTMS) Session B
For those who have completed both FTMS and ATMS, Master of Trust Management Standards (MTMS) is for leaders in their organization who are ready to look past the day-to-day operations of their funds and ready to leverage their own unique leadership strengths and skills to optimize their contributions.
You'll learn to engage and develop others—all with the aim of strengthening your plan or trust for the long-term benefit of your members.
Earning Your MTMS Credential
To earn the MTMS credential, you must meet the following program element requirements for both sessions.
Session A and Session B
- Prework including a passing score (minimum 70% correct) on open-book, untimed, preprogram tests
- Full attendance at both Session A and Session B, which involves a total of four days of classroom instruction. The program is sequential—Session A is a prerequisite for Session B, which means attendance at two separate offerings/locations.
- A "satisfactory" participation score in group activities from instructors
- A passing score (minimum 70% correct) on the online posttests for Session A and Session B. The posttests are open-book and include multiple-choice questions on the prereadings/prework, on-site slides, exercises, materials and postreadings.
MTMS Session B Topics
Course materials consist of preprogram reading; a video; pretest; on-site presentation materials; and supplementary readings, sample documents and additional information for future reference. Both Session A and Session B include a capstone mock board meeting.
Why You Should Attend
The award of the MTMS credential is the culmination of your successful journey through the trustee/fiduciary education path!
It recognizes the commitment involved in completing the suite of trustee education programs (FTMS, ATMS, MTMS). These programs in total represent ten days of education and multiple assessments, including two capstone mock board meetings—fortified by your years of experience as a fiduciary/trustee.
Who Should Attend
MTMS is the next step for those who have earned an ATMS Certificate of Achievement. It is also recommended for those who are advanced-level appointed and elected multi-employer, public sector and corporate plan trustees/fiduciaries. MTMS is also for trustees/fiduciaries of all types of plans and trusts. See prerequisites.
Finishing my MTMS-B Course was a great experience. Lots to bring back to many boards I am a part of.
