This course is open to those who successfully completed the Accelerated Route to Fellowship – International Arbitration (ARF) course, and to those who have completed CIArb Modules 1 to 3 or equivalent.

The fee for both the examination and refresher seminar is NTD 18,000 for CIArb members and NTD 20,000 for non-members.

The fee is the same irrespective of whether the candidate will attend the optional refresher seminar or not.

The award writing examination takes place in the following two Phases:

  • You will receive the first segment of the examination (Phase 1) on or about 4 September 2019, with enough information for you to prepare a substantial part of your award.
  • Phase 2 of the examination will take place on 14 September 2019, which is when you will receive the second segment of the examination, containing further information on the arbitration in question. This will enable you to complete the award in the examination room on that date. It consists of 30 minutes of reading time and four hours of writing time.

Success at the examination permits candidates to take the Peer Interview in order to progress to Fellowship of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb).
