This element of the Accelerated Route to Fellowship Programme consists of two days of oral assessment based on a case study of a dispute. You will be assessed on your knowledge, judgment and self-presentation on a series of problems, written exercises and role play, as well as your reasoned award writing ability.

2. Written Assessment. Written assignments will be part of the assessment process during the workshop. NB, one of the written assignments will be prepared in advance of the workshop and will be collected early on the first day of the workshop.

3. Award Writing Examination This element consists of a written open book examination in which an Award must be writ- ten and fully reasoned, based on the evidence in an arbitration proceeding. The exam is administered as part of this weekend program. To receive a passing grade, the Award must meet international standards for enforcement.
