The Understanding Claims Under FIDIC 2017 Basic E-Course covers the same content, without the benefit of practical assignments (based on real project case studies), tutor support, CPD hours and certification. We tend to recommend the basic e-course to those who are time-constrained or, who don’t need the practical element / CPD hours.
Poorly expressed claims have been a leading cause of disputes for many years. In an attempt to improve this situation, FIDIC has introduced much more onerous procedures for claims in the 2017 contracts than in the 1999 contracts.
The course examines all matters related to claims under the 2017 editions. As a result, if you are transferring from the 1999 forms of contract to the 2017 editions, or if you are entirely new to FIDIC, you will learn all you need to know.

What our students have to say
The course was comprehensive, it covered all FIDIC clauses in the Red and Yellow books and offered an overview of clauses and case studies pertinent to such clauses. This really helped to solidify our understanding of how these clauses are applied and administered.”
