“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”
Pass the FCCM exam — and become the contract manager every FIDIC project needs.
The FIDIC Certified Contract Manager (FCCM) is the flagship credential issued by FIDIC Credentialing Ltd, held by only a few hundred professionals worldwide. It doesn't test whether you can recite contract clauses — it tests whether you can apply them: a late site handover, an unlabelled variation instruction, a missed Notice of Dissatisfaction. 100 scenario-based questions, 250 minutes, open book, 60% to pass.
This course is built for exactly that exam — and for the daily reality of administering FIDIC contracts on live projects.
What makes this course different
Most FIDIC courses teach one book and one edition. The FCCM exam tests six publications: the Red, Yellow and Silver Books in both their 1999 and 2017 editions, plus the Golden Principles. A large share of exam questions turn precisely on what changed between editions — DAB vs DAAB, old Clause 20 vs new Clauses 20/21, Defects Liability vs Defects Notification. This course covers the full examinable scope, edition by edition, clause by clause.
You start with the FCCM Exam Blueprint: eligibility routes, exam format, the examinable scope mapped to every module, high-yield themes, a 10-week study plan and exam-day strategy — including why "open book" is a trap for the unprepared (2.5 minutes per question leaves no time to search a contract you don't already know).
Then you master the machinery of every book:
Red Book 2017 — the reference architecture: the Engineer's dual role, time and programme (Clause 8), Variations (13), payment (14), termination (15–16), Claims (20) and the DAAB (21)
Red Book 1999 exam core — studied as a comparison, the way the exam tests it
Yellow Book 1999 & 2017 — Contractor's design, fitness for purpose, Tests after Completion
Silver Book 1999 & 2017 — EPC/Turnkey: no Engineer, maximum risk transfer, unforeseeable conditions
Golden Principles — the five tests for when Particular Conditions destroy the FIDIC balance
Green Book 1999 & 2021 — supplementary short-form coverage for your professional toolkit
Every lesson teaches through the pattern the exam uses: what the clause does → who must act and within what time limit → the risk of missing the deadline → a realistic project scenario. You'll build the reflexes that answer scenario questions: whose clock is running, and what Notice stops it?
What you'll walk away with
Command of the claims discipline: the 28-day Notice, the fully detailed claim, contemporary records, time bars
The complete dispute path: determination → DAB/DAAB → NOD → amicable settlement → arbitration
A working 1999-vs-2017 change log — the exam's favourite hunting ground
Cross-book risk allocation: site data, fitness for purpose, Exceptional Events vs Force Majeure
Exam-day strategy: pacing, open-book kit preparation, and how to spot the answer that respects the time bar
Skills you'll use the day after the exam: on site, in claims, and in contract reviews
