Dispute Board Member Certification Programme

Course Overview

The CIAM Dispute Board Member Certification Programme provides specialised training for professionals seeking to develop the knowledge and practical competencies required to serve effectively as members of dispute boards.

The programme examines the role and functions of dispute boards throughout the life of a project, including dispute prevention, early intervention, project monitoring, site and document review, hearings, recommendations and decisions, depending on the applicable dispute board model.
