| FIDIC-Qatar Contracts Intensive Training Courses |
|
|
FIDIC Contracts Intensive Training Courses take participants over a period
of two and one-half days in an organized and structured way through the contents of
each
of the modules of the FIDIC Contracts Training Manual. Participation is
limited to some 35 with one, and sometimes two, trainers providing
detailed explanation, courses notes and cases studies and leading in-depth
discussions, almost at an individual level. FIDIC Contracts Intensive Training Courses are to be distinguished from other FIDIC-organized or co-organized training events which also cover the five FIDIC Contracts Training Manual modules. These other events are courses where 50 participants work through a structured training programme, and workshops that involve less structured presentations with the discussion and analysis, in moderated working groups, of key issues. FIDIC Contracts Intensive Training Courses are provided by consulting engineers and other construction professionals with extensive international experience. They aim to explain and illustrate the use and management of all aspects of the FIDIC Client-Consultant Models Services Agreement ("White Book"), the FIDIC Joint Venture Agreement, the FIDIC Subconsultancy Agreement, the FIDIC Representative Agreement, FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Construction and the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for Plant and Design-Build. FIDIC Contracts Intensive Training Courses are designed to help participants have confidence in working with these documents, whether representing employers, consultants or contractors. The FIDIC Short Form of Contract and the FIDIC Conditions of Contract for EPC/Turnkey Contracts are also covered in detail, using the Construction and Plant Contracts as the basis. |
| FIDIC Conditions of Contracts |
|
|
FIDIC services agreements and 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. Many bilateral and multilateral agencies have adopted the FIDIC White Book for engaging the services of professionals. |
| Trainers |
|
|
The course tutors are provided by specialist training suppliers that are
acrredited by FIDIC and work in
partnership with FIDIC. |
| Who should attend |
|
|
The training course provides the necessary
knowledge for professionals from government
ministries and agencies, private sector
employers, consulting engineers, contractors,
quantity surveyors, architects, legal advisers and
all involved with the implementation and
management of works contracts. The intensive courses are particularly important for those involved in preparing or managing infrastructure projects financed under funds provided by MDBs, bilateral development agencies and the European Union cohesion and structural funds. |
