Experienced Practitioner Assessed (EPA) Programme

The Experienced Practitioner Assessed (EPA) Programme is designed for people with a sound background in a construction discipline, who may not have gained the exempting academic qualifications for full CIOB membership.

The EPA programme involves candidates being able to apply their acquired experiential knowledge for assessment in managing people, processes and the technology of construction.

Applicants for the EPA programme will typically have five years' experience in managing these key areas. 

The EPA programme should also move towards completing gaps in a candidate's wider knowledge of managing in the Built Environment.
