 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 four 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 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 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.
 
 Trainers
The course tutors are provided by specialist training suppliers that work closely with FIDIC, notably European Construction Ventures (ECV), UK. ECV specialises in training and management consultancy to the international construction and infrastructure industries.
 
 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.
