The Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors 1.33

The CIEA was set up to improve standards in educational assessment. We are a professional membership organisation, which includes teachers, examiners, school and college leaders, academics and awarding bodies. We also have members among professionals who are responsible for the development of staff in sectors as diverse as finance, health and land management

Setting and carrying out assessments requires knowledge, skill, expertise and experience. The CIEA supports its members and the community of assessment professionals by:

- Maintaining a national Continuous Professional Development Framework
- Accrediting individuals against the framework, with a clear progression route through the CIEA grades – Associate, Member and Fellow – for those who meet the professional standards
- Setting standards of conduct through a binding Code of Practice
- Training and accrediting the most experienced assessors as Chartered Educational Assessors
- Providing specialist, high quality training for individuals and organisations
- Supporting its members with advice, information and services
