Study that Fits your Schedule
MCIOB Certification
Becoming a Member of the Chartered Institute of Building is a proud moment in a construction professional’s career. So, having the letters MCIOB after your name shows potential clients and employers that you’re a hard worker and high achiever. In addition to this, an MCIOB can get involved in the Professional Review Management Board, receive invitations to high-profile meetings and even get certain discounts. Above all, MCIOB qualification shows you have profound experience and knowledge in construction with commitment to the industry.
How to become MCIOB?
There are various routes to becoming an official MCIOB. This route is for those who have at least 5 years of management experience in construction but don’t have a high enough qualification (a Level 6 NVQ, for example). The College of Contract Management is CIOB accredited and our CMP course, together with our Professional Review guidance, will qualify you to become a fully-fledged MCIOB.
The course will provide you with knowledge and skills that you can then take forward with you into your flourishing management career.
Fundamentally, working full-time is non-negotiable to most of us, therefore studying online allows you to maintain your job and income. Moreover, we hold all of our lectures live online at weekends and record them so that you can catch up later. You will be able to do all of your lectures, resources and assessments from the comfort of your home. This cuts out travel time and cost and is also sustainable alongside any commitments you may have that make leaving home impractical, such as childcare. Getting your CMP online is particularly helpful for overseas students and saves the cost and inconvenience of getting a Visa.

Examination
Examination
The examination is part of the CMP route to becoming an MCIOB. You will undertake an exam in June or November. This depends on your start date. Furthermore, it is an Open Book exam, consequently you can work at home using all available resources. As a member of the CIOB, you will also have access to their own Moodle, therefore making it possible to receive and answer exam questions through this.
Additionally, the fee for the exam is £371 and you must pay this directly to the CIOB 4 weeks before the exam takes place. We will then issue you your results in September (for the June test) or January (for the November test).
Upon successful completion of your Chartered Membership Programme, you will then be qualified to progress to your Professional Review application.
Professional Review Coaching Service
Professional Review Coaching Service
Most importantly, the Professional Review is the final part of your application to become an MCIOB. You will be required to submit a competency report, job description, action plan, presentation, company organisation chart, CV and finally a CPD record. Additionally, as a CIOB approved provider of the CMP, the College of Contract Management offers a complete coaching service including advice and support for the completion of your Professional Review application. Our CIOB recognised assessors will assess your initial submission.
Also, we work with more than 300 PR candidates every year. To date, all of our candidates have passed the PR and subsequently become MCIOB.
This therefore gives us a 100% pass rate for our Professional Review Coaching Service.
