Who should attend:

The training course provides the necessary knowledge for professionals from Government Ministries and Agencies, Private Sector Employers, Consulting Engineers, Contractors, Quantity Surveyors, Architects, Legal Advisers and all involved with the implementation and management of large Works Contracts. It is particularly important to those involved in preparing or managing infrastructure projects financed under MDBs' Funds, the EU Cohesion and Structural Funds, as all their Works Contracts use the FIDIC Conditions of Contract.
