Frequently Asked Questions
About FIDIC Contract Management Training Course
It works through the principal FIDIC forms used on building, plant and design-build works, and the practical differences introduced by the 2017 editions compared with the long-established 1999 versions, so you can administer whichever form your project actually uses.
The Engineer occupies a pivotal position, issuing instructions, certifying payment and making determinations that are meant to be fair to both parties. Misunderstanding that role is a common source of dispute, so the course gives it close, practical attention.
FIDIC sets strict notice requirements and time bars, and a claim that is otherwise valid can be lost simply because notice was late. You learn the claims procedure step by step, with particular focus on the deadlines that decide whether a claim survives.
The course covers the dispute avoidance and adjudication board and the staged path from the Engineer's determination through the board to arbitration, so you understand how FIDIC expects disputes to be contained before they escalate.
You learn the interim payment certificate process, measurement and valuation, retention and the final account, which is the machinery that keeps cash flowing correctly on a FIDIC project.
It suits contract and project managers, engineers and quantity surveyors, and procurement, commercial and claims professionals. It is practical and scenario-based rather than purely legal, so it works for commercial as well as technical staff.
You will be able to interpret and run a FIDIC contract, manage payments and certification, prepare and answer claims, handle variations and risk, and navigate the dispute procedures.
It runs as a live online cohort and in person in cities such as Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Kigali and Dubai, with a Certificate of Completion and post-training support, and can be delivered in-house for project and contract teams across Africa.
