Member Associations organizing FIDIC training
FIDIC Member Associations co-organising training with FIDIC Academy
FIDIC Academy collaborates with Member Associations (MAs) in over 25 countries to deliver training services around the world (see the list of countries and MAs below).
Support to the Member Associations for course organisation tailored to the local industry-specific needs is done in collaboration with FIDIC Academy. In 2023, the FIDIC MAs organised over 40 FIDIC training courses addressed to their local members in over 20 different countries with 1388 attendees, in collaboration with FIDIC Academy.
When MAs co organise training with FIDIC Academy, MAs take 80% of the shared revenues of the training fees.
Region sensitive pricing of FIDIC Academy Certificates is also applied when MAs collaborate with FIDIC Academy for training. Certificates of attendance costs are based on the World Bank criteria:
Tier 1 countries 0% discount / Tier 2 countries 15% discount / Tier 3 countries 35% discount / Tier 4 countries 50% discount.
In addition to this, if you belong to a FIDIC MA or FIDIC Affiliate, you are eligible for a 15% discount on any FIDIC Academy public online contracts training courses. To obtain the discount code, kindly email your proof of FIDIC membership or affiliation to training@fidic.org.
Additional benefits of the FIDIC Academy for its member associations:
- Continuing education and professional development: by supporting the members’ training activity, FIDIC Academy provides local infrastructure professionals with the opportunity to continue their education and professional development, which is essential for staying current in an ever-changing industry.
- Provide FIDIC Certified Trainers and training materials: these trainers are experienced professionals who have real-world experience and can provide valuable insights and practical examples focused on the local industry and local legal system. FIDIC Academy trainers are renowned to offer the best quality standard. FIDIC provides trainers who well know the local industry and real cases in the member country or region.
- Provide FIDIC Certificates to the participants: these certificates are often required for applying to several bidding processes financed by Development Banks.
- Connection to a respected organisation: As part of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC), the FIDIC Academy is connected to a respected and well-established organisation in the engineering industry, which adds credibility and legitimacy to courses and programmes organised under its banner.
- FIDIC’s cooperation with multilateral development banks (MDBs): This provides its MAs with a resource that enables them to engage proactively in discussion and project bids which utilise FIDIC contracts as they have FIDIC Academy certificates.
- Links to MA education training providers: FIDIC Academy lists all MAs providing FIDIC contracts training via the FIDIC Academy Resources page (see below).
- Future Leaders Advisory Council – The Future Leaders Advisory Council (FLAC) is an advisory council appointed by the FIDIC board whose members are selected from candidates proposed by its MAs. It was formed in 2004 to provide young professionals with the opportunity to participate actively in FIDIC (including training activities such as the popular FIDIC Academy Future Leaders Management Course) with their peers and to develop the next generation of consulting engineering industry leaders.
