Training programme for commercial arbitrators

The second phase of a training programme to equip commercial arbitrators for professional certification will begin today at the Qatar Chamber headquarters.
It will be held under the theme, “the procedures and management of arbitration cases”, over four days, addressing a number of theoretical and practical issues.
The training programme is conducted by Qatar International Centre for Conciliation and Arbitration in co-operation with the GCC Commercial Arbitration Centre.
The course aims to prepare a new generation of Qatari and GCC arbitrators who can deal with commercial disputes outside the courts and help settle them accordingly.
This will also ease the load on courts and speed up the resolution of related cases, which will eventually reflect positively on business transactions in the country and region.
