Advanced Professional Certificate in FIDIC Construction Claims: A Complete Guide<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Introduction<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

The **Advanced Professional Certificate in FIDIC Construction Claims (APC-FCC)<\/a>** is designed for professionals working in the construction and infrastructure sector who want advanced expertise in **claims preparation, contract administration, and dispute resolution**, specifically under the FIDIC suite of contracts.<\/span><\/p>\n

As major construction projects in the GCC, Africa, Asia and globally increasingly adopt FIDIC forms and face complex challenges\u2014including pandemic-related delays, supply-chain disruptions, latent defects, and stringent time\u2010bar clauses\u2014this programme equips participants with the knowledge and practical tools to **identify claim opportunities, prepare compliant submissions, avoid escalation into disputes, and resolve claims effectively**.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing on recent research and industry trends in claims management, notice-time-bar compliance, data-analytics and contract risk identification, this course blends theoretical frameworks with real-world case studies and interactive exercises. For example: the growing emphasis on strict notice requirements under FIDIC forms, and the role of data-driven analytics in claim governance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Objectives<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

By the end of this programme, participants will be able to:<\/span><\/p>\n

* Understand the structure and key clauses of FIDIC contracts relevant to claims and disputes (e.g., Sub-Clause 20.1, time bars, variations).<\/span>
\n* Administer claims under FIDIC Red, Yellow and Silver Book forms in compliance with contractual and procedural requirements.<\/span>
\n* Identify potential claims events, compile and manage supporting documentation, and submit well-substantiated claims.<\/span>
\n* Manage extensions of time (EoT), cost claims, disruption claims, defect-related claims and other typical exposures.<\/span>
\n* Navigate dispute avoidance mechanisms (such as DAB\/DAAB), adjudication, mediation and arbitration under FIDIC.<\/span>
\n* Apply modern best practices in claims governance: timely notices, robust record-keeping, data analytics and organisational oversight. ([ASCE Library][2])<\/span>
\n* Advise stakeholders (employers, contractors, engineers) on risk allocation, claims mitigation and contract-compliance strategies.<\/span>
\n* Lead contract-administration teams, monitor claim performance indicators (KPIs) and improve institutional resilience to claims.<\/span><\/p>\n
