Chartered Membership Programme (CMP)

Candidates must have at least one of the following to start the course:

• Five years’ experience in a construction management role
• Completion of a Level 4 Site Management qualification
• Technical qualifications such as HNC or HND.

We recommend that candidates studying the CMP join the CIOB on the Experienced pathway.  

Assessment is made via an Open Book Exam which is carried out at the end of the programme. You will be provided with a construction project scenario and will answer four questions relating to the studied modules. You will be given 12 days to submit your answer to the questions through the virtual learning environment, Moodle. This allows you to use the resources of your choice to complete your exam.

As the CMP is run through various providers, please contact your chosen provider to get more information on fees, availability and time frame.

The CIOB manages the open-book exam which you will complete at the end of the programme. Please be advised that you will be asked to pay an exam fee before sitting this exam (this fee is not included in your Provider fees).

Once you have successfully completed your CMP, you can join the CIOB as an Applicant and proceed to submit your Professional Review. Your CMP provider will also give advice and support on the completion of your Professional Review application. This is an assessment of your occupational and management competence and the final stage of gaining your Chartered Membership.
