The proposed training programmes shall be designed to prepare and/or train both the leaders in engineering-oriented project/programme management and normal consulting engineers and project managers. However, the goals have to be achieved in steps, and the needs of the three groups of potential students shall be given different priorities in view of China's particular circumstances. As agreed between the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations and Tsinghua University, training of the project managers and contract administration staff for construction companies in FIDIC Conditions of Contract and other documents shall be the starting point. The training programme shall be then extended to consulting and design professionals. The curricula shall be designed to meet the specific needs of trainees in the different groups working at different levels in consulting firms or construction companies. The proposed training programme will be open to the neighbouring areas of China's mainland since many have the same training needs as China. This will be an ideal way to make full use of the training resources made available by FIDIC, and to spread FIDIC's message. The centre,  located on Tsinghua campus, Beijing, will be run by representatives from CNAEC (FIDIC's Member Association in China) and Tsinghua University. It can use the various facilities of Tsinghua University. Two training programmes will be offered:

• overseas construction project management;
• training on specific topics.

• FIDIC
  • Guide, suggest and supervise the work and training plan of the Centre;
  • Introduce experts and recommend internship sites or projects abroad;
  • Publicize and advertise the training programme;
  • Sign certificates for trainees.
• CNAEC
  • Guide, suggest and supervise the daily work and training plan of the Centre;
  • Introduce experts of lectures;
  • Enrollment;
  • Provision of the related documents and materials of FIDIC as textbooks or reference books;
  • Sign certificates for trainees.
• Tsinghua University
  • Preparation of training plan;
  • Enrollment, accommodation and administration of trainees;
  • Organization of the training of the trainees;
  • Collection of tuition fees and get other supports;
  • Preparation and allocation of textbooks;
  • Sign certificates for trainees.
