The ability to be able to successfully handle and resolve claims is a sought after skill set
We have crafted that skill set over the past 45 years and put everything we know into this accessible e-course.
We’ve been through the difficulties and understand the challenges you face on construction projects. We want to help you gain the ability to identify, prepare and respond to claims with confidence and success.
If you are new to the world of claims or, perhaps sit at the other end of the spectrum and wish to refresh your knowledge, then this course is for you.
Common Questions
There are no assessments with this course and no pressure of pass or fail; you will simply have access to a series of video tutorials. If you are looking for a more practical learning experience, with graded assignments, perhaps explore our Construction Claims Intermediate E-Course instead.
The course developer, Andy Hewitt, presents the course. Andy has over 45 years’ experience in the construction industry and is the author of various industry publications on contract, claims, FIDIC and notices.
Whilst the course is intended to be flexible to accommodate time constrained professionals, our research during the trial phase told us that students would prefer a deadline otherwise, if they know the course is always there, they do not actually tend to complete it.
We believe that you have a reason and motivation to sign up to a course and we want to make sure that you complete it so, from the date of enrolment, you have 6-months to complete the course. After 6-months, your access to the student website will expire and you will no longer have access to the course content. 6-months will give you plenty of time to get through the content and make sure that you achieve what you set out to do, win win!
Registration is easy. Just go to the course page on the student website and follow the instructions. Registration is online and payment is via all major credit cards. As soon as you have registered, you’ll receive a welcome email with all the information you need to get started.
The difference between the courses mainly lies in the benefits as well as the overall learning outcome and experience. Both courses contain 6 modules covered via 24 video tutorials. The intermediate course, however, comes with the additional benefits of graded assignments, tutor support, CPD hours, certification and more and is therefore the more practical learning experience.
