There are two possibilities, assuming that individual trainers, since they are not training suppliers, do not have the resources to own, develop and maintain training materials:

• FIDIC owned
• FIDIC Accredited Training Supplier owned

FIDIC owned
 
In some cases, FIDIC has developed a module that meets the requirements and scope specified by the training manual module. Under a licence agreement, FIDIC will  transfer the FIDIC-owned training resources to either an individual trainer, his or her training organisation or to his or her Member Association for exclusive use in training courses organised by the FIDIC National and International Training Programme.
 
FIDIC Accredited Training Supplier owned

Several FIDIC Training Modules are supplied as courses by FIDIC accredited training suppliers. For these modules, the FIDIC Accredited Trainer Development Programme will arrange for transfer of the accredited modules to a trainer, his or her training organisation or his or her Member Association for use by the FIDIC Accredited Trainer under licence.
