Insights into Studying with Claims Class

One of the reasons I created Claims Class is because I get a lot of personal satisfaction from sharing the knowledge I have gained over many years. My aim is to help people perform their jobs better and support them in advancing along their career path. It’s always gratifying to receive feedback from students when this happens, as it shows that we are achieving our goals.

One of our distance-learning students is a contract manager on a large project in Panama. They started the course in April and have currently completed Module 5. During one of our tutorials, they mentioned that as a result of their studies, they had completely changed the way they submit claims on the project. In the past, some of their claims had been rejected by the Engineer and subsequently referred to the project dispute board. They are now confident that lessons learned on the course so far will help gain acceptance of the more recent claims and that the submission of further particulars to the dispute board—using what they have learned—will help to resolve the disputes favourably.

This feedback, highlighting success in the day-to-day world of contracting, also demonstrates that the course content has a real practical value, as opposed to being purely theoretical. This is exactly what we set out to achieve.
