The Construction Industry Security of Payment Ordinance (Cap. 652) ("the Ordinance") was gazetted on 27 December 2024 and will come into effect on 28 August 2025.

As part of its commitment to supporting industry stakeholders, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC), in collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (East Asia Branch) (Ciarb EAB), has developed a comprehensive adjudication training programme.

This programme is designed to equip professionals with the necessary knowledge and skills to serve as adjudicators under the Ordinance.

• Acquire a detailed understanding of the adjudication process under the Ordinance.
• Obtain specialist training from leading experts in the field.
• Opportunity for inclusion on HKIAC's List of Adjudicators, subject to eligibility.
