CIArb Accelerated Route to Fellowship (ARF)  20-22 May 2019

A fast-track route towards Fellowship in the Chartered Institute through the International Pathway.

This course includes both a candidate assessment and an award writing examination (CIArb Module 4). It assesses whether the candidate has sufficient knowledge required to apply the principles and procedure of international arbitration based on the UNCITRAL Model Law and UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules. Upon successful completion of this course, an applicant will have completed all the course requirements for Institute Fellowship.

Prior to registering for the ARF or both courses, we strongly advise you to write to education@ciarbny.org briefly describing your background and experience in international arbitration. An ARF director will review the international arbitration experience you provide and will respond with a recommendation as to whether you are an appropriate candidate for the ARF at this time.
