About CIOB Recognition

The CIOB recognises world wide educational programmes that promote excellence in the build environment and has developed a number of agreements with international organisations as a way of recognising and supporting membership and standards.

Every agreement is unique, reflecting on each organisations offering and the benefits to be gained from working together.
