"I never hesitate to recommend CIArb Education and Training programmes. I often tell members that by the time you're done you walk out a different person. It is a privilege to be part of the CIArb community and to support members in their development."

"I undertook module 3 with CIArb. Being a Fellow of the institute gives credibility and allows interaction with like-minded professionals. The Institute is collaborative and I have had the benefit of being instructed by fellow CIArb members."
