Virtual training is available and managed by Ciarb headquarters for all our qualification courses. If you are interested in face-to-face training, we provide training opportunities worldwide through our Branch network. The training is based on course materials, content and syllabus, all of which have been fully developed and approved by Ciarb headquarters.

No. As of 2020, all assessments are completed online via our learning platform and managed by Ciarb headquarters for quality assurance purposes.

However, it is possible to arrange for examinations to be sat elsewhere, for example, at a Ciarb Branch or a special examination centre. Candidates who wish to sit an examination at a Ciarb Branch or a special examination centre in their home country should alert the Institute at least four weeks prior to the examination and finalise their own arrangements with the external venue.

Candidates will be responsible for any additional local charges for invigilation and facilities.

Candidates should receive their results within 12 weeks of submitting their assessment.
