THE CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF ARBITRATORS

Assessment

Assessment consists of two intermingled elements:

1

An interactive 2-day practice-cum-assessment series of workshops, where situations will be presented to participants in groups for their consideration as to what to do in such circumstances. Participants are assessed in terms of their knowledge, judgment and interactive/self-presentation skills (and ability to draft specific documents related to the situations – see below, element 2).

Assessment of this element is on a pass or fail basis. 

2.

Written exercises before and during the 2-day workshops:

• one (arbitration law) to be submitted before the assessment Workshops (10%);
• one (arbitration law) during the Workshops (20%);
  and, on the second part of the above defined syllabus –
• two during the Workshops (10% each);
• an overnight exercise (30%); and
• a final exercise (20%).

The pass mark for these written exercises is 55% overall and for each of the arbitration law and arbitration practice, procedure & drafting sections.

You may select either UK domestic arbitration or international arbitration as the basis for the workshop and written exercises.
