Description

“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 differentMost 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 itYellow Book 1999 & 2017 — Contractor’s design, fitness for purpose, Tests after CompletionSilver Book 1999 & 2017 — EPC/Turnkey: no Engineer, maximum risk transfer, unforeseeable conditionsGolden Principles — the five tests for when Particular Conditions destroy the FIDIC balanceGreen Book 1999 & 2021 — supplementary short-form coverage for your professional toolkitEvery 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 withCommand of the claims discipline: the 28-day Notice, the fully detailed claim, contemporary records, time barsThe complete dispute path: determination → DAB/DAAB → NOD → amicable settlement → arbitrationA working 1999-vs-2017 change log — the exam’s favourite hunting groundCross-book risk allocation: site data, fitness for purpose, Exceptional Events vs Force MajeureExam-day strategy: pacing, open-book kit preparation, and how to spot the answer that respects the time barSkills you’ll use the day after the exam: on site, in claims, and in contract reviewsImportant notesThis is independent, exam-aligned preparation.
