Membership of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) often follows completion of conflict resolution courses, and there are specific requirements to qualify. For example, to become an Associate (ACIArb), one must either complete an introductory CIArb-accredited course (or its equivalent from a recognised course provider such as the College of Contract Management) or demonstrate at least six months of experience in dispute avoidance or management in a professional capacity.
