SAA Arbitration Practitioner’s Course
Successful participants of the SAA Practitioner's Course receive the Arbitration Practitioner Diploma (ArbP) from the SAA.
The ArbP program demands active participation during the course, which includes pleading training on the basis of mock cases, role plays of arbitration-related scenarios, drafting sessions to learn how to draft written submissions and interactive discussions on cutting-edge arbitration topics.
The modules are held together with the CAS in Arbitration class. ArbP candidates attend Modules 2, 3 and 4. The course stretches from June to January of the following year. The three modules start on Thursday mornings and finish on Monday afternoons. The next course will start in June 2020. All courses are taught in English.
This course is designed to accommodate working professionals, balancing classroom instruction with scheduling flexibility. During every Module day, participants will be given an opportunity to attend to their professional responsibilities. Furthermore, participants can choose to attend the three Modules in any order over the course of multiple academic years.
Application Requirements
The ArbP program is for qualified participants with some previous experience in arbitration.
Course Assessments
ArbP participants are required to attend and actively participate in Modules 2, 3 and 4.
“The SAA practitioner’s course impresses with its practical orientation, the selected lecturers, a well-structured course programme as well as a strong focus on questions of international commercial arbitration. The course offered a high degree of interactivity among the participants and covered all aspects of a complete arbitration procedure, from the initiation to the taking of evidence to the enforcement of an award. I can highly recommend this course to anyone who is professionally confronted with issues of international arbitration.”
