IIBLC® is expanding!

IIBLC® is adding new exam locations for candidates: Munich, Berlin, Vienna and Zurich.

This thanks to our new exam centre: PMI Production Management Institute GmbH in Planegg (Munich) Germany.

Please check out the details of the new exam centre at our exam/education centre page of the site.

IIBLC® is moving to new location

After 5 years of operation in Deurne, IIBLC® is moving to a new location! 
As from April 2nd 2013, our office will be situated in the "Bedrijvencentrum Concentra" in Antwerp.

New address: 
Bedrijvencentrum Concentra 
Katwilgweg 2 
B-2050 Antwerpen 
Belgium

CGBL, CBBL and CChL are now registered trademarks!

The four-letter abbreviations "CGBL", "CBBL" and "CChL" are now registered trademarks. This adds to their value as only people who are authorized by IIBLC® can use them.

As mentioned on our certificates: people who obtained the certificate are allowed to use the four-letter abbreviations (e.g. on CV, as title behind name, ...). all others need prior approval from IIBLC®. Failing to do so is ground for legal action.
