This Role of the Engineer in FIDIC Contracts Course is an online, intermediate-level course that aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the multi-faceted role of the Engineer under FIDIC Conditions of Contract (Red and Yellow Books 2017, 2nd edition). Through a series of six structured workshops and practical case studies, participants will explore the full spectrum of the Engineer’s responsibilities — from appointment, authority, and delegation, through communication, programme management, early warning, and quality oversight, to the critical functions of consultation, determination, claims management, and DAAB interface.

The course further addresses the Engineer’s measurement, evaluation, variation, and certification duties, as well as the management of suspension and termination provisions, equipping participants with the practical knowledge and confidence to discharge the Engineer’s functions effectively, impartially, and in full compliance with the FIDIC 2017 contractual framework. The ultimate aim is to help the participants have practical confidence in discharging this role by highlighting the good practices, clearing mis-conceptions, stamping out bad practices and the reported issues that affects the Engineer’s role.

Only countries classified as low-, lower-middle-, or upper-middle-income are eligible for regional discounts.If your country is classified as a high-income economy, it does not qualify for a discount under this model. This approach ensures that financial support is directed toward regions with more limited access to professional development resources.
