Chartered Educational Assessor (CEA)The CIEA was granted its Royal Charter by the Privy Council in 2007. This was a profoundly important event as it endorsed our objective of professionalising the process of assessment and enabled the CIEA to offer a structured world class programme of continuing professional development (CPD). Our Charter, together with the Chartered Educational Assessor (CEA) programme, puts assessment on a par with professional activities in other fields such as engineering, HR and accountancy. |

Structured CPD OpportunitiesThe CIEA offers a wide range of structured CPD opportunities. This section of the website includes the 4-step CPD process that incorporates the following CIEA tools and resources - CIEA Assessment Skills Gap Analysis Tool, CIEA Professional Framework, CIEA Assessment Compendia and CPD Review and Planner sheets. |
