Arbitrator Members refer to local and foreign individuals (natural persons) who fulfilled the requirements of being an arbitrator and is a registered Arbitrator Member of NCAC.

The first batch of Arbitrator Members was selected by the Initial Arbitrator Selection Committee on 26 April 2010. To ensure their professional efficiency and competency, the initial arbitrators went through a series of training courses on arbitration skills and commercial law which were organized by the International Financial Corporation (IFC, a World Bank Group) in collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Arbitrations (SIArb). After completing two years of training, 44 successful trainees were registered as arbitrators on NCAC’s list.
