Training Partnerships

Training Partnerships

Ciarb has extensive experience in working with partners to deliver training in dispute resolution. Ciarb works with partner institutions if they meet the following criteria:

  • An organisation that can provide one or more Ciarb membership benefits in addition to the capability to deliver Ciarb training (for example, an arbitration centre or mediation provider which can offer appointments to qualified members, or other resources that could add value to the qualification and membership of Ciarb)
  • In a location where Ciarb does not currently provide training through an established branch.
  • The delivery of training will be in English, and trainers and individuals within the target market must have English language proficiency skills.

If your institution meets the above criteria and is interested in a training delivery partnership with Ciarb, please contact the Education and Training department at education@Ciarb.org


Recognised Course Providers (RCPs)

Ciarb operates a Recognised Course Providers (RCP) scheme under which educational institutions can apply to have their programmes recognised for Ciarb membership purposes.

Ciarb RCP scheme is currently under review as part of a wider Ciarb training reform. Therefore, Ciarb will not be accepting any new applications until the review is finalised. The highest level of equivalence under the new RCP scheme will be at Ciarb member level.

Existing RCPs agreements at Ciarb fellow level will be discontinued upon expiry, while those at associate and member level will be extended until the review is finalised.

Current worldwide RCPs include:
