The new subsidiary, Factito, has been established to meet identified sector needs for digital learning materials and structured support, including PMI qualifications.  

Factito joins the other PMI Approved Centres and Examination Partners to support pension professionals at all stages of their careers. It provides modern training formats, expert-led courses, and a flexible approach tailored to industry needs.  

Gareth Tancred, CEO of the PMI, said:  

“We are pleased to launch Factito as a PMI Approved Centre to help create a stronger, future-ready pensions workforce. By aligning with Ofqual regulations and delivering innovative, high-quality learning experiences, Factito is helping to shape the next generation of pension professionals and meet the expectations of government and regulators for higher standards of trusteeship.” 

Factito will operate as a separate entity within the PMI Group, in full compliance with Ofqual requirements for Approved Centres, while remaining closely aligned with PMI’s mission to support excellence across the pensions sector.
