FIDIC Training Module I - ``Practical Use of FIDIC Contracts``

FIDIC Training

Module 1

“Practical Use of FIDIC Contracts”

This practical training course, explains and illustrates the practical use of the FIDIC 2017 Conditions of Contract for Construction (the “Construction Contract”) and the FIDIC 2017 Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design-Build (the “Design-Build Contract”). The course is designed to help the participants have confidence in working with these documents whether representing Employers, Consultants or Contractors. It provides extensive checking measures and work exercises to give all delegates a comprehensive understanding of proper management of these contracts. Those who have limited knowledge about the 2017 editions of these FIDIC books are equally invited to take part, as the online course includes numerous references back to the 1999 editions, highlighting the major differences.

Ensure that your employees are prepared for working with these important documents, which are becoming the international contractual language of the 21st Century.
