Checking If You Qualify for a Licence

Step-by-step guide to confirming whether you meet the requirements to enrol for a CIBA specialist license.

1. Quick Overview (What This Is & Why It Matters)
Before registering for a specialist license, it is important to confirm that you meet the entry requirements. This helps prevent delays, incorrect registrations, or enrolling for a license you may not yet qualify for. Checking your eligibility first ensures you are on the correct path and can prepare any outstanding requirements in advance.

Step-by-Step Instructions (Check Your Eligibility)

  • Log in to your membership profile and click on cpd.myciba.

  • Scroll down and select the Channel 2.

  • Select the specialist license you would like to enrol for.

  • Review the license overview and entry requirements carefully.

  • Confirm whether you hold the required designation, membership standing, or prior qualifications linked to that license.

  • Check whether any specific CPD, assessments, or prerequisite learning must be completed before enrolment.

  • Ensure your membership is active and that your profile information is up to date.

  • If you are unsure whether you qualify, contact CIBA support before proceeding.

2. How to Apply
Please follow the steps carefully to successfully apply for your licence:

  1. Log in to your membership profile.

  2. Navigate to My Communications.

  3. Select My Tickets.

  4. Create a New Ticket.

  5. Under Select Department, choose CPD.myciba.

  6. Under Select Category, choose Other – CPD.

  7. Under Subject, indicate that you are applying for a licence.

  8. Under Message, provide details on the type of licence you are applying for.

3. What You’ll Need
• Active CIBA membership
• Correct login credentials for your cpd.myciba profile
• Relevant designation or membership category, where applicable
• Any prerequisite qualification, assessment, or prior learning required for the specific license
• Updated contact details on your membership profile

4.Common Mistakes to Avoid
Assuming all members automatically qualify for every license
Instead: Always review the specific requirements for the license before registering.

Registering before confirming your designation or membership status
Instead: Make sure your profile reflects the correct designation and active membership standing.

Ignoring prerequisite assessments or prior learning requirements
Instead: Check whether you need to complete any learning or assessments first.

Submitting incomplete application requests
Instead: Clearly specify the license type when logging your ticket to avoid delays.
