Prepare for your MCIOB route discussion

Start with your route, not a generic template

CIOB offers different routes according to qualifications and experience. Confirm your route and its current requirements with CIOB before preparing a submission. This independent preparation list helps you organise a discussion; it is not an official document checklist. CIOB: MCIOB.

Information worth having to hand

A current CV with the dates and scope of my construction roles.A list of qualifications and relevant professional development.Two or three work examples showing my management responsibility.Notes on decisions about quality, safety, resources, people or professional conduct.Questions about the current route, evidence format and any supporting documents.

Illustrative example, not a client case

A construction manager faced a proposed handover before an outstanding quality issue was closed. A useful example explains the issue, who the manager consulted, the recommendation made, who held approval authority and how closure was verified. “I managed the project successfully” leaves these responsibilities invisible.

What was your construction role, and what were its limits?
