Registration guidance
Registration process
CIEH qualifications may only be delivered by a CIEH registered
trainer through a CIEH registered centre. CIEH registered trainers
must meet certain criteria to register for each qualification that
they wish to deliver. Read the Trainer Requirements and Subject
Knowledge sections from page 39 to find out more.
How long does the registration process take?
The registration process will normally be completed within five
working days from receipt of your registration forms (two working
days if you choose to pay for the fast-track option).
Incomplete applications delay the registration process so please
ensure your registration is complete before sending it to us.
Registration forms are processed in the order that they are
received.
A note for trainers outside the UK
CIEH registration requirements are based on UK regulations. The
trainer qualifications listed are for guidance only – if you have
a similar qualification you can still register as a CIEH trainer.
If your qualification is not easily matched to one listed in our
requirements, please send as much supporting evidence as
possible – such as a syllabus or official course summary detailing
duration and topics covered. This information should be in English.
If your qualifications do not fully comply with the criteria for
teaching in the UK, we may still be able to register you as a trainer
in your own country.
Any questions?
If you have any questions regarding the registration process
please contact our Customer Services team:
Email: customerservices@cieh.org
When your application is successful
Phone: +44 (0) 20 7827 5800
You will receive an email confirming your registration; together
with all relevant information regarding the qualifications for which
you are registered.
Terms and conditions
Registered centres will receive a complimentary training pack
for each qualification (where applicable). We recommend that
trainers buy a personal training pack through their centre to aid
course delivery.
You will receive a link to the CIEH Procedure Manual, along with
a link to MyCIEH where you should log in and accept your centre
and/or trainer agreement to confirm that you will follow the
standards set out in the Procedure Manual.
You will then receive a charter confirming your registration with
the CIEH. You may not deliver any CIEH training until the CIEH
has received confirmation of your accepted agreement and you
have received your charter or notification thereof.
If your application is unsuccessful
If your application does not meet the standards for registration
we will review it, and may request further information from you.
If your application still fails to meet the standards for registration,
our Customer Services team will inform you of the outstanding
requirements. You will then have three months to meet these
requirements.
Only trainers and centres registered with the CIEH can deliver
CIEH qualifications. They must be registered for each qualification
delivered.
If a qualification has been delivered where either the centre or
trainer has not obtained prior registration, the CIEH will be unable
to process exam results and may administer a penalty fee or – in
certain circumstances – legal proceedings.
Registration is subject to approval by the CIEH.
A registration is not deemed final until the centre and trainer
have accepted the registration agreement and has received the
appropriate charter or notification thereof.
The CIEH reserves the right to refuse registration to any centre or
trainer without disclosing the reason. The decision is final and not
open to appeal.
It is understood that a centre or trainer registers in order to deliver
CIEH qualifications.
A reactivation fee will be charged to centres who support less
than 10 candidates per year, from the second calendar year of
operation. There is no minimum training threshold for the first
calendar year of operation.
If your application remains unsuccessful your trainer registration
fees will be lost. Centre registration fees are fully refundable. This
does not affect any future applications.
