Professional Review

The Professional Review is the final stage to gaining the CIOB Chartered qualification, which all candidates have to successfully complete to achieve MCIOB.

Applications for the Professional Review will only be considered from candidates who are fully exempt academically.

Professional Review candidates will be assessed in the following areas:

Part 1:  Occupational competence
Part 2:  Management competence
Part 3:  Commitment to professionalism

Candidates are required to submit the Professional Review report and supporting documents for assessment.  After successful assessment, candidates are invited for interview for which they are required to prepare and deliver a short oral presentation which is followed by questions from the panel.

The interview will be conducted by a panel of Chartered members and will primarily concentrate on the content of the report and presentation, although candidates will need to be able to demonstrate knowledge of topical issues surrounding the industry.  The interview result is given on the day.

Professional Review candidates who have completed an S/NVQ level 4 or 5 and/or the Professional Development Programme (PDP) are eligible for exemption from Parts 1 and 2.  Please read the Professional Review guidelines before starting your application.
