It is a qualification program; not a fundamentals training program. Successful completion of the program permits participants to apply to become Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators\, the highest grade of CIArb membership which allows the use of the designation FCIArb. \nThe program focuses on applicable laws and procedures for the conduct of efficient arbitration hearings in complex international cases. The program is comprised of three elements: \n1. Oral Assessment\nThis element of the Accelerated Route to Fellowship Programme consists of two days of workshops (4 days if the program is via remote video conference) based on a case study of a dispute. Each participant is assessed on his/her knowledge\, judgment and selfpresentation during discussion of a series of problems arising during a mock complex international arbitration and role play simulations. \n2. Written Assessment.\nWritten assignments will be part of the assessment process during the workshop portion of the program. One of the written assignments will be prepared in advance of the workshops and will be collected early on the first day of the workshops. \n3. Award Writing Examination\nThis element consists of a written\, open book examination in which an award must be written and fully reasoned based on the evidence in an arbitration proceeding. The exam is administered as part of this program. To receive a passing grade\, the award must meet international standards for enforcement. The exam administration and assessment fee is included in the tuition fee for the program.
