Introduction

Since it’s founding, FIDIC’s main activity is publishing international standard forms of Contracts. First standard form of Contract was The Form of contract for works of Civil Engineering construction, in 1957. It became famous for its cover and called “The Red Book”. Ever since then, it has become the tradition that FIDIC Contracts are known by the colour of their cover.

The program is offering the basic knowledge, skills and tools on understanding the Delay, Claim and Dispute Resolution in FIDIC forms of contracts for all engineering fields especially the Civil/Construction field or any field that may deal with it like Telecom, Software, Electromechanical, and others.
