We currently have two e-course options on the topic of Construction Claims: Basic and Intermediate. But what’s the difference? And which one should you take if you’re looking improve how you write and manage construction claims? In this blog we look at each course and answer those questions to help you decide which one could be best for you…

Construction Claims Basic E-Course

The Construction Claims Basic E-Course is our ‘no frills’ course. You get 24 video tutorials delivered via 6 modules that focus on:

1. Contract Administration for Claims
2. Types of Claims and Procedures
3. Delay Analysis
4. The Essential Elements to a Successful Claim
5. Compilation and Presentation of Claims and Responses
6. Responses, Determinations and Disputes

You simply sign up and work through the videos at your own pace. 

Construction Claims Intermediate E-Course

By comparison, the Construction Claims Intermediate E-Course offers a more practical and involved learning experience.

You still get 24 video tutorials delivered via the same 6 modules but you also get: (more…)

It’s no secret by now (we hope!) that Claims Class is launching e-courses in 2017 and, over the past couple of months, we have been running a trial of our first e-course, a Construction Claims Intermediate E-Course.

Running the trial was definitely a worthy exercise. We gained some great feedback from our students and learnt some valuable lessons ourselves, all of which have gone into improving the course and creating the final version. In this blog, we explore the trial process, share the key takeaways and showcase the final version of the e-course.

The Trial

The trial included 18 students from all over the world who agreed to complete the course within a given time-frame and provide feedback on each module as they progressed through the course. When the trial ended, we had gathered 108 feedback forms that gave us key insight into the following areas: (more…)

In a recent blog we explained the concept of e-courses and what you can expect when you sign up for one. In this blog, we take an objective look at e-courses by examining their pros and cons to help you decide if learning via e-courses is for you.

The Pros

Convenience – in today’s busy world where we’re trying to fit what often feels like a hundred things into our day, the biggest advantage of taking an e-course is convenience. You don’t need to alter your weekly schedule to accommodate class attendance, rather, you fit study in to your existing schedule. For example, some people perform best in the morning (usually after a coffee!) whereas others could be night-owls and prefer to study into the late hours. You decide and you are in control which means you are more likely to learn efficiently and get the maximum benefit from the course. (more…)

In a recent blog we announced that Claims Class will launch a series of e-courses in 2017. If you don’t know what e-courses are, have never taken one before and have no idea why we’re so excited about launching them, then read on, this blog is for you…

What is an e-course?

Simply put, e-courses are online training courses where you access the content electronically, via an online learning system, or you receive it via email.

How is an e-course delivered?

There are a variety of ways e-courses are delivered and plenty of tools to help course providers deliver the content in an engaging and interactive way. There are some common delivery methods though and those include: (more…)

Firstly, we would like to wish all our blog readers a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. We realise this is more than a little delayed (we can’t believe it’s March already!) but that’s because we have been busy behind the scenes working on a new and improved version of Claims Class AND we’re excited to now be able to share some details of our plans with you!

In 2017, Claims Class will be venturing into the world of e-courses!

Why? Well…

Claims Class is a small and friendly training and education provider and over the past 5 years we have grown the Claims Class brand and delivered courses across the Middle East, South- Asia, the UK, South Africa and Ireland.

During this time, we have built a good reputation for our training and we now receive enquiries from people all over the world asking if we plan to present our training courses in their countries.

Whilst we would love to deliver our courses in more regions, costs and logistics mean that we need large numbers of attendees for the courses to be economically viable and, without good connections for marketing, this becomes a challenge.

Times have also changed. Whilst there is still great benefit in attending face-to-face training courses (and don’t’ worry, we’ll continue to run those), we realise that busy, time-constrained professionals want access to quality training at times and from locations that are convenient to them. We wanted to meet that need.

So, what can you expect from our e-courses?
