Education

The CIOB plays a leading role in the development and continual improvement of educational standards at a national and international level.

The achievement of professionalism at all levels within the construction industry is at the core of CIOB work. In establishing the criteria for membership of the CIOB, the Institute has developed a framework of educational requirements designed to reflect industry needs and provision.

The CIOB has an accreditation process which establishes the mechanism for Universities and Colleges seeking CIOB recognition of their qualifications.

Courses receiving accreditation include Masters, Bachelor Degrees, HND, HNC and other qualifications which match the requirements of the CIOB Education Framework. Full details of all CIOB recognised courses can be found on the link below.

As an awarding body, the CIOB has designed qualifications for those who already have or are intending to develop a career in Site Supervision or Site Management. These awards are registered with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) at Level 3 and 4 of the National Qualifications Framework and are delivered throughout the UK and Ireland. The CIOB also jointly recognises a number of National and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (N/SVQ).
