Contracts Training

Our courses cover all forms of building and civil engineering contract and subcontract at beginner or advanced level including

• NEC 2 & 3 (all contracts)

• JCT 1998, JCT 2005, JCT 2006 Measured Term and Constructing Excellence Contracts

• ICE 5th/6th/7th

• Irish Public Works Contracts

• IChemE Red, Green & Burgundy Books

• PPC 2000

• FIDIC 1987 or 1999 Red, Green, Yellow and Silver Books

We are now providing training courses on the new FIDIC 2008 Conditions of Contract for Design, Build and Operate Projects!

Most training companies only train you on the main contract....we also provide training on the various Standard Forms of Subcontract too!

With other training companies, when you call you speak to a sales or admin person, and your course will have standardised course notes, treating each client exactly the same as the other. When you call us you speak to a tutor, we also believe that our clients deserve a tailor made course, with the notes and any case study material being specifically relevant to their business needs.

Unlike other training companies, we do not ask for deposits, we do not charge cancellation fees, and we do not invoice a course until that course is satisfactorily completed........why should we?

We can even provide a training course on either your version of a standard form of contract or a non standard form you have written yourself! You send us the form of contract, we learn it, and deliver it to your staff complete with PowerPoint slides, notes and case studies!

Each of our courses offers a tutor expert in their field with a full and comprehensive set of notes for each delegate.

Our courses can be run on a public basis at local venues, or if you have 12 or more delegates, we can run the course at your offices or choice of venue anywhere throughout the UK and abroad. We can even arrange the venue for you!

In the UK we have run courses as far afield as the Shetland Islands and the Isle of Man!

Worldwide we have run courses in Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Mumbai, Dubai, Qatar, Bahrain and Barbados!
