What previous participants had to say?
Participants from 2023-2024
“I felt safe enough to make mistakes and learn from them and really experience the challenges of wearing the arbitrator hat.”
“Lots of active role playing with many seasoned arbitrators and arbitration lawyers followed up with thoughtful and personalised feedback.”
“A very practical course with individual feedback that we couldn’t get elsewhere.”“It’s a very helpful course to give us hands-on experience and provide a safe environment to fail and learn from mistakes.”
“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.”
