All Ireland Endorsement Body for Community Work Education and Training CLG

All Ireland Endorsement Body for Community Work Education and Training (AIEB) – a company limited by guarantee – is the national authority that endorses, recognises and quality‑assures community‑work education and training programmes across the island. AIEB works with higher‑education institutions, training providers and professional bodies to ensure that courses meet the All‑Ireland Community Work Standards.

Through its endorsement process, AIEB grants formal recognition to postgraduate and CPD programmes, enabling graduates to demonstrate a nationally accepted level of competence. It also offers a suite of continuous professional development (CPD) opportunities, quality‑assurance frameworks and a “Statement of Individual Recognition” for practising community workers.

AIEB’s activities include regional workshops, webinars and conferences that support providers and practitioners in meeting the standards, as well as a regular news and events service to keep the sector informed. Its primary audience comprises community‑work educators, training organisations, aspiring community workers and existing professionals seeking endorsed qualifications and ongoing professional development.
