This Diploma is open to:

Professionals wishing to increase their knowledge and relevant skills in the field of international maritime arbitration, and/or
Members or Fellows of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators who have experience of domestic or international arbitration practice and wish to extend their knowledge to include international maritime arbitration procedures.

With specific international maritime arbitration themes and covering legislation in England and Wales and the APAC Region, the Diploma is split into three parts:

PART 1 Law, Practice and Procedure of International Maritime Arbitration

Part 1 looks at the legal and practical framework of international maritime arbitration. This includes relevant international instruments, types of arbitration, the powers of an arbitrator and the fundamentals of an enforceable award. It also gives candidates the opportunity to look deeper at discrete themes in international maritime arbitration.

PART 2 Law of Obligations

The Diploma in International Maritime Arbitration prepares candidates for FCIArb which is a mark of proficiency in dealing with evidence, decision making and award writing in international maritime arbitration. As the law of obligations provides an essential framework for this, candidates are required to show expertise in it.

Existing Fellows of the CIArb are exempt from having to complete Part 2.

PART 3 – Evidence, Decision Making and Award Writing of International Maritime Arbitration

The virtual training programme includes focus on the processes followed by an arbitrator in:

defining the issues that have to be decided by an award
dealing with the submissions made by the parties
analysing the appropriate law
evaluating the evidence
applying the law to that evidence
arriving at a conclusion, and
writing a final, reasoned and enforceable award.

Successful completion of this Diploma leads to DipCIArb status and, if applicable, eligibility to apply for Member or Fellow grade of CIArb membership. See the ‘Next steps’ tab for more information.

English Language Competence – CIArb training and assessment is carried out in English. It is therefore essential that candidates are proficient in both written and spoken English. Where English is not a candidate’s first language, it is recommended that they have achieved a standard that is, as a minimum, equivalent to the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) level 7 or a score of 94-101 in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) system. CIArb issues this advice as a guideline and, while it will not require any evidence of this standard prior to enrolment on a course, candidates who do not have this standard of English may be disadvantaged.
