CIOB hosts workshops for revamped fellowship route

The CIOB will shortly be hosting a series of workshops on how to become a fellow. A new process for achieving FCIOB status was launched last year.

FCIOB membership demonstrates a unique set of leadership competencies and behaviours that reflect the highest level of professionalism. 

It is benchmarked at Masters degree level, and the process is carried out by an independent expert qualifications agency, UK NARIC.

FCIOB candidates can apply to upgrade from MCIOB or they may be non-members and apply directly. The entry criteria and process involves demonstrating significant strategic responsibilities for people and organisations and contributions to the wider industry or the general public.

Applicants have to provide a 3,000 word account of a project or initiative they have led through which they can demonstrate their competence, and then attend a professional discussion which is called a viva voce exam.

Attending the workshops requires completion of an eligibility form. Candidates can then decide after the workshop if they wish to proceed.
