 FIDIC-ECV-JCC Contracts Training Courses
This practical training course, provided by professional engineers with extensive international experience, explains and illustrates the use of the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction (the “Construction Contract”) and the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design-Build (the “Design-Build Contract”). The course is designed to help the participants have confidence in working with these documents whether representing Employers, Consultants or Contractors.
 
 
 FIDIC Conditions of Contracts
FIDIC Conditions of Contract are being increasingly used by the international construction industry throughout the world. In Europe, they are used by the European Commission for many projects throughout central and eastern Europe.
 
The Multilateral Development Banks (MDB), including the World Bank, the Interamerican Development Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the African Development, have adopted the FIDIC MDB Harmonised Edition of the Conditions of Contract for Construction.

ECV specializes in training and management consultancy to the international construction and infrastructure industries. ECV has provided over 100 training courses Worldwide in the last 3 years on the use of FIDIC documents.
