English Language Competence – as CIArb trainings and assessments are carried out in English, it is essential that candidates are proficient in both written and spoken English. Where English is not a candidate’s first language, it is recommended that they have achieved a standard that is, as a minimum, equivalent to level 7 in the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) or a score of 94-101 in the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

CIArb issues this advice as a guideline and, while it will not require any evidence of this prior to enrolment in a course, candidates who do not possess this standard of English may be disadvantaged.
