Course Information
What is the aim of the programme?
The course is for Ciarb Fellows, who have not sat or do not sit as an arbitrator frequently. It provides an opportunity to develop practical skills and knowledge, in a realistic simulation of an arbitration proceeding, under the guidance of a highly experienced Faculty of respected arbitration practitioners.
Last year’s candidates have said the course offers:
“Lots of active role playing with many seasoned arbitrators and arbitration lawyers followed up with thoughtful and personalised feedback.”
“I felt safe enough to make mistakes and learn from them and really experience the challenges of wearing the arbitrator hat.”
What are the learning outcomes?
Candidates will practise the roles of co-arbitrator and presiding arbitrator in simulated proceedings using realistic documentation, interacting with experienced arbitration counsel and witnesses as well as other tribunal members. Through active engagement with the course, participants will develop their knowledge, skills and confidence to:
- Plan and manage arbitration proceedings effectively.
- Draft, interpret and give effect to procedural orders, applicable arbitral rules and guidelines.
- Identify and address common procedural problems.
- Communicate effectively with counsel, parties, witnesses and other tribunal members to ensure an efficient arbitration process.
- Ensure fair, efficient and effective arbitration proceedings.
How is the programme delivered?
The course will be delivered in person at the office of Allen & Gledhill, Singapore, with course material shared before and throughout the simulated proceedings.
The course will be delivered by an experienced international faculty.

What previous participants had to say
“A must for non-lawyers aspiring to become an arbitrator.”
“An invaluable practical training session that complements the theoretical grounding of CIArb’s International Arbitration training modules. The exercises, the real time honest feedback from the practitioners and the opportunity for meeting and conversing with faculty, alumni and other trainees in a compressed time frame all in one place are all unmatched.”
“The AAF course exceeded my expectations by providing a comprehensive understanding of arbitration theory along with practical applications. The course equipped me with the necessary skills and confidence to engage in arbitration effectively. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their expertise in arbitration and gain valuable practical insights.”
“Eye-opening course with engaging instructors who patiently guided us through some challenging scenarios. The sessions gave me a new perspective on conflict management that I have already employed in other non-tribunal engagements. I can’t recommend this course highly enough, especially to aspiring arbitrators who might not have the opportunity to shadow an arbitrator or serve as a tribunal secretary.”
“This really was outstanding. Worth every penny. And it wasn't cheap. Don't know how else I could have gotten that experience with feedback.”
“It’s a very helpful course to give us hands-on experience and provide a safe environment to fail and learn from mistakes.”
