CHARTERED INSTITUTE OF BUILDING (CIOB)
CHARTERED MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMME (CMP)
The Chartered Membership Programme (CMP) is a direct route to MCIOB for individuals with significant experience. It enhances practical skills with a knowledge based programme. The CMP was previously known as the Experienced Practitioner Assessed programme (EPA).
Typically, those enrolling on the programme will have worked in a management role for five years. However, the programme is also suitable for a wide range of technical and specialist professionals working in the construction industry. The programme also forms a progression route to MCIOB for candidates who have completed the CIOB Site Management Programmes.
The modules are delivered through the Singa College classroom-based lectures, with one open book online examination being marked by the CIOB examiners at the end of the programme.
