Develop your alternative dispute resolution (ADR) career through Ciarb’s internationally renowned professional development programme.

Whether you are just starting out, seeking to qualify, or are already an expert neutral, you will find training and professional development options to suit your needs.

Ciarb qualifications and training are ideal if:

  • You want to understand what ADR is and how it works, to help you in your current role or profession.
  • You are a technical or legal adviser to parties using ADR and need a deeper knowledge of ADR and the role of the neutral.
  • You want to develop expertise as an arbitrator, mediator or adjudicator.
  • You are an experienced neutral and want to demonstrate professional credibility by gaining Ciarb postnominals and maintaining ongoing professional development.

Our courses are designed by leading ADR practitioners and academics, ensuring you have the right skills for a fast-changing world.

We carefully consider how each course is delivered to ensure a rich and meaningful learning experience, from self-paced online courses to tailored in-person workshops.
