CIOB provide “Accreditation in Adjudication”
Keywords: Adjudication, Accreditation
The CIOB claims to be the first industry organisation to provide accreditation in adjudication. In 2003, the Dispute Resolution Programme Committee (DRPC), a member committee of the CIOB, reviewed the CIOB adjudication training programme and agreed that there should be recognition for candidates who have undergone adjudication training. Neil Burton Chair of DRPC said, “Adjudication is proving to be very complex and the consumers of the process need to know that those they are instructing are sufficiently experienced to handle what is involved. The CIOB process of initial accreditation and a bi-annual review to retain accreditation will mean that the 'CIOB Accredited in Adjudication' qualification sets and maintains high standards for those involved in disputes”. The CIOB has been an Adjudicator Nominating Body since the onset of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996. (See paper by Steve Donohoe in this issue).
