The increasing demand for use of the FIDIC Contracts in the construction industry, as well as for projects funded by multi-lateral development banks, requires a thorough understanding and knowledge on the implementation and management of works contracts. The proposed online training programme not only offers a complete and comprehensive overview of the two main contracts, but also provides a comfortable learning process, avoiding travel costs and lengthy absences from the workplace.
The programme is based on live lectures in combination with case work which is directly related to the lectures. Participants will work on real life cases and practice the application of various contract conditions. The case work is run on a chat type platform by presenting and discussing case inputs in writing. Presentations, assessments and discussion of replies will take place in an on-line classroom setting. The virtual platform is provided by Podio and running on Adobe Connect. Participation requires candidates to be seated at a computer with an internet connection, either at the workplace or at home, whichever is most convenient in view of the different time sessions. Work assignments may be undertaken at any time. Lectures and classroom participation mean being available at predetermined hours. The timing for sessions will depend on the various time zones of participants.
The FIDIC Conditions of Contract, together with case studies and related documents, will be provided for electronic download. All lectures and classroom sessions will be recorded and can be reviewed at any time. This will allow access to all sessions during the whole training period.
The programme comprises 9 two-hour sessions over a period of five months, commencing at the end of February 2013. The preparation of case work must be completed between the sessions and replies will be discussed at the following classroom session.
