ZIGURAT becomes first Spanish CIOB training partner

ZIGURAT is the first Spanish institution to obtain the title of Training Partner of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB). This worldwide reference institution defends the science, ethics and good practices of the built environment worldwide.

ZIGURAT Institute of Technology is now a Training Partner of the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) and has become the first Spanish institution to obtain this designation. 

“This partnership allows ZIGURAT staff, faculty, and students to progress onto their own Chartership pathways, as well as access a multitude of training options through the CIOB Academy and the support of our Tomorrow’s Leaders,” says Julie Walters, Business Development at CIOB. 

The CIOB is a British institution recognised worldwide for setting standards for the construction industry since 1834. Among its many areas of activity, it has a Training Partnerships programme of more than 400 companies committed to the professional development of their employees and the industry.

The benefits of Training Partners

“ZIGURAT is proud to be the first Spanish academic institution to sign the Training Partnership agreement with CIOB. We are confident this alliance will bring immense value to our employees and students,” said Monalisa Martins, Institutional Engagement Manager at ZIGURAT.

This strategic collaboration with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) provides ZIGURAT students with significant benefits, including an exclusive discount for the Student-Enhanced membership, which offers tailored resources and tools for personal and professional development in the construction industry. Additionally, students will gain access to the Tomorrow’s Leaders community, an initiative designed to foster professionalism, innovation, and leadership in the next generation of construction professionals.

Beyond the advantages for students, the partnership opens doors for all ZIGURAT members to access a wide range of CIOB training programmes that cover essential skills and emerging trends in the construction sector. For those aiming to become Chartered Members of CIOB, the agreement includes access to personalised mentoring, ensuring members receive expert guidance and support throughout their professional chartership journey.
