APPROVAL OF ARBITRATION/MEDIATION TRAINING COURSES

The purpose of the approval process is to ensure that courses approved/recognised match the Institute’s courses in terms of outcomes and standards. In order to ensure that this process is transparent, fair and measures the appropriate matters, the following process must be observed. The process and requirements apply equally to any application for exemption/recognition.

The policy for the manner in which courses are approved is the responsibility of the Professional Committee.

The management of the process of dealing with such application is the responsibility of the Secretariat.

The appropriate technical committee will provide any technical advice requested by the Professional Committee.
