FIDIC Online Module 4: Management and Administration of FIDIC Contracts

The course is designed to help the participants increase their confidence in working with FIDIC’s major construction contract forms whether representing Employers, Consultants or Contractors. The online course mainly focuses on contractual mechanisms, project management features of FIDIC’s major contract forms and best practices. The completely updated online course is built upon the new 2017 FIDIC Forms and the sessions highlight the main differences between the 1999 Conditions of Contracts and the new 2017 Edition. As all practitioners know, the 2017 FIDIC Updates brought even more contract administration for the stakeholders – if you are one of those, facing such challenges soon, this is a course not to miss!

The Module 4 programme is comprised of 9 sessions on nine training occasions of approximately 1.5 hours duration each. The course is based on lectures in combination with directly related casework through which participants will work on real-life cases and practise application of the various contract conditions. As part of this course, the participants will be given 8 new case works/exercises to elaborate and each session is started by discussing the solutions. The (average) time span in between the training occasions is two weeks, enabling the attendees to elaborate and discuss the casework solutions.

Work assignments may be undertaken at any time; lectures and classroom participation require being available at predetermined hours on specified dates throughout the duration of the programme. All lectures and classroom sessions are recorded and can be reviewed at any time, not to miss any session. Participants will be divided into groups according to the most suitable time zone.

Note: As the course period encompasses the Northern Hemisphere summer holiday season, a longer break is planned in the course programme in order to allow participants enjoying their annual vacation leave.

• A session of 1.5 hours every 2 weeks plus case study work at home between each session
