About the course

It has been 18 years since the last release of the FIDIC Rainbow Suite. After many years of interaction with industry, the consulting profession and affected stakeholders, FIDIC formally announced the release of the new versions of the RED, YELLOW and SILVER Books.
Compared to the 1999 editions which are still in use, certain changes have been made to the 2017 editions, adding to the already complex construction contract documents.
The upcoming 1-day Advanced Training and 1-day Workshop will give you a high value insight in the major updates in New Editions.
