My role is to identify and work with organisations, in the North of England & North Wales, who are eligible to be a Chartered Company or Training Partner. Chartered Company or Consultancy Membership is determined by chartership of the Board and number of years trading. * 50% of the Board must be Chartered, one with CIOB & * Minimum of 2 years trading This Chartership demonstrates professionalism, quality and competencies via an application and assessments process. We have members from SME's to Tier1's. For those that don't meet eligibility for Chartered Company Membership, we have a Training Partnership Agreement that you can enter into.  Our Training Partners either, can't meet the above criteria because they are too large, or aren't directly involved on construction, but have estates teams or departments who are.  Our Training Partners also have access to resources to support membership of CIOB, Pathways to CIOB Chartership and opportunities for training and development via our Academy. To find out more about either of the above opportunities I can be contacted at: kpercival@ciob.org.uk or 01344 630868
