FIDIC Contract Administration is a 6-week course for contract administrators, engineers, and project managers who work with FIDIC-based construction contracts and need to handle them with confidence rather than just refer disputes upward. The course starts with an introduction to FIDIC contract forms, covering the Red, Yellow, and Silver Books and how to identify which form applies to a given project and why it matters. It then covers roles and responsibilities under FIDIC, explaining the distinct duties of the Employer, Contractor, and Engineer, and where those responsibilities commonly overlap or conflict in practice. Claims and variations are covered next, teaching you how to prepare, assess, and respond to variation instructions and contractual claims in a way that holds up under scrutiny. The course then moves into payment certificates and procedures, showing how interim and final payment certificates are prepared and the procedural steps required to keep payments compliant with the contract. It closes with dispute resolution mechanisms, covering the Dispute Adjudication Board process and the escalation path to arbitration, so you understand your options before a disagreement turns into a full dispute. By the end of the six weeks, you will be able to read, apply, and administer a FIDIC contract with the confidence of someone who has actually run one.
