Accelerated Route CIArb Membership

(9-10 March 2012)

 

 

Course Information

 

This assessment course provides candidates with a fast-track route to Membership in the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb).  For the first time, this course is being offered in the Philippines.  Course tutors will consist of Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.


The Accelerated Route to Membership has been designed for busy, legally qualified professionals who have some unassessed knowledge of arbitration.  It provides a fast-track route to Membership through the arbitration pathway. The aim of the programme is to assess the range of skills needed in order to perform competently in an arbitration.

 

The course is delivered over a period of two days, with a combination of assessment workshops on day one and an examination on day two. The course dates advertised are the dates when candidates will be required to attend the face to face workshops and examination.

 

The Programme provides an opportunity to explore the law and practice of  commercial arbitration. It is therefore valuable for anyone who is conversant with the law and who wishes to see its application to the arbitral process generally, whether as a party, advocate, witness, judge or potential arbitrator.

 

This is not a teaching course, but an assessment. Candidates must evaluate their personal suitability to undertake the programme.  On successful completion of the assessment course, candidates will be eligible to apply to be a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.
