Are you planning to gain a Professional Qualification?

Are you an experienced professional who can demonstrate substantive experience in a senior management role which includes significant responsibilities for people, finances or technical change?

  
The Experienced Practitioner Assessed Report route (EPAR) has been developed by The CIOB for you. 

The CIOB recognises successful completion of the Experienced Practitioner Assessed (EPA) Programme or the Experienced Practitioner Assessed Report (EPAR) Route as equivalent to Level 3 of the CIOB Education Framework.

The programme is in three parts:


 PART A 

Paper based assessment to ensure you meet the criteria
= Associate membership (ACIOB)

 PART B

Oral examination based on your technical knowledge

 PART C  

Success at the oral examination will enable a candidate to
progress to the Professional Review
– the final step to Chartered membership (MCIOB)



How do I apply?

The Application and Guidance form can be found via the link below.

Costs

From 28 September 2009 the EPAR Part A Application will include an assessment fee of £75.

Successful candidates will be offered Associate membership and required to pay the current CIOB subscription and admission fee, together with the £360 fee for the oral examination before being admitted to membership.

The fee for the Part C Professional Review is £200. This is paid upon application for the Professional Review.

Please note: At the present time all oral examinations will be held in the UK.
