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 approcah 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.
