The SIArb-SCMA Maritime Arbitrator’s Fellowship Course (“Course”) will be offered by the Singapore Institute of Arbitrators (“SIArb”) in conjunction with Singapore Chamber of Maritime Arbitration (“SCMA”).
The Course will comprise SIArb’s Fellowship Assessment Course (“FAC”) which will be held either in a hybrid or fully online format, in conjunction with SCMA’s Maritime Arbitrator Accreditation Programme (“MAAP”) which will be held in person.
Candidates may attend FAC alone, FAC with MAAP or MAAP only (for candidates who already have a sound understanding of the fundamentals of the law and practice of arbitration).
COURSE SYNOPSIS
This Course consists of 6 modules with a total of 9 self-study lectures, 6 live practical workshops and an online Award Writing Examination:
FORMAT AND DELIVERY METHOD
SIArb will conduct the FAC in a hybrid or fully online format as follows:
Each candidate is required to attend, either virtually or in person, the full duration of each Practical Workshop, the dates of which are specified in the Course Schedule below. The total scheduled duration of all 6 Practical Workshops is 10 hours.
The Award Writing Examination is an open-book examination which will be conducted virtually on SIArb’s online course portal and/or on the Zoom meeting platform over a period of 3.5 hours (inclusive of a 30-minute reading period) on the date specified in the Course Schedule below. Each candidate is required to sit for and pass this written examination by writing an enforceable final award within the time and based on the facts given. For more details on the FAC course coverage, please click HERE.
*While candidates may elect to attend the Practical Workshops in person or via Zoom, in an effort to be more environmentally friendly, SIArb will not provide physical copies of reading materials, lecture or presentation slides.

Please contact the SIArb Secretariat for assistance.
