FIDIC for Infrastructure & Mega Projects: 10-Day Intensive Masterclass
COURSE OVERVIEW
This advanced 10-day program provides a complete understanding of how **FIDIC contracts are applied in large-scale, high-value infrastructure and mega projects**, including highways, airports, railways, power plants, water systems, industrial facilities, and smart city developments.
Participants learn **contractual risk management, procurement frameworks, cost control, design-build approaches, dispute avoidance**, and **governance systems** specifically used in mega projects.
The course covers **FIDIC Red, Yellow, Silver, and Gold Books** with global case studies.
