Applying Project Management Principles to Arbitration (On-Demand)

Achieving an enforceable outcome through arbitration is paramount. Just as important is how we run our arbitration practices. Achieving cost-effectiveness and efficiency can mean a smoother, more profitable business. This is where the principles of project management are relevant. You will have opportunities to apply and check your knowledge through multiple-choice activities throughout the course. It typically takes 3 to 5 hours to complete and, once successfully completed, you will receive a certificate that you may use for continuing professional development (CPD). Ciarb’s on-demand courses are the ideal way to fit learning into a busy schedule. Self-paced and ready when you are, they are flexible and convenient.
