The training course provides a training on the FIDIC Subcontract, 2011 edition. The training is geared towards Main Contractors and Subcontractors, and also Consulting Engineers and lawyers being involved in major Subcontracts. The FIDIC Subcontract enables the Main Contractor to subcontract parts of the Works under the Main Contract on a back-to-back basis to a Subcontractor. The back-to-back approach ensures a smooth and consistent way of subcontracting, and reflects the commercial realities of subcontracting in modern times.

Essentially, this means that the Subcontractor shall design (to the extent specified), execute and complete the Subcontract Works, and also undertake all assistance and support efforts which are needed in order to avoid the Main Contractor becoming liable under the Main Contract for any lack of performance which the Main Contractor has entrusted to the Subcontractor. The tutors of this course are an Irish engineer and a German lawyer who are both member of the FIDIC task group for a Design & Build Subcontract. Both tutors have in depth experience in dealing with Subcontracts and are experienced arbitrators and adjudicators.
