ARBITRATION COURSES

Introduction

The Association offers online correspondence courses to new and existing members.

By registering with the Association you will become an Associate (AAArb) member and join a group of professionals who consider Alternative Dispute Resolution (‘ADR’)[1] as positive alternative procedures for the settling of disputes. This group of professionals include a network of:

  • Legal practitioners (e.g. attorneys, advocates and other legally qualified persons);
  • Members of the construction industry (e.g. architects, quantity surveyors, claims consultants, engineers and project managers); and
  • Other professionals and business persons (e.g. medical practitioners, accountants and insurance practitioners).

There are courses beckoning to be undertaken, which courses can elevate members[2] from Associate (AAArb) to, inter alia, Fellow (FAArb) membership status and/or enhance a member’s educational background in ADR.  

General Information

The courses run annually online from the end of February to early December.

The courses are presented under the auspices of the Association’s Tutors’ Committee, under the direction of the Course Director, Adv Donald Joubert, duly assisted by senior qualified arbitrators, all of whom are Fellows (FAArb) and act as tutors in the different course modules.

Language

All the course notes and examination papers are in English.

Payment

Payment for the courses must be made in advance, on receipt of which documentation will be made available on the e-Learning portal.

Contact between students and the Association will be addressed to Miss Mandisa Mthembu (Course and Member Manager) at coursecoordinator@arbitrators.co.za.

Exemptions

In exceptional cases candidates, who possess appropriate qualifications and/or experience, may, on application, be granted exemption from one or more of the prescribed modules.
