Course Overview
Decode the RED BOOK and Manage Your Project with Confidence
If you're someone working in construction whether you're a Project Manager, Contract Administrator, Quantity Surveyor, Engineer, or just someone who deals with contracts and wants to get a grip on FIDIC then this course is for you.
This isn’t a summary-style, rush-through course. I’ve been working on this course since 2017, building it while handling real-life projects across different countries, timelines, and contract setups. Each clause in the FIDIC Red Book is explained in full detail with context, practical interpretation, and examples from actual project situations. My aim was simple, build a course that’s not just to “complete,” but one that becomes your reference point throughout your career.
We’ll go clause by clause, breaking things down in a clear, no-fluff way. I’ll share how each clause is actually used on site, what to look out for, and how to interpret it when things go south or when you need clarity during contract administration. You’ll also find insights on contractor and employer obligations, variations, delays, payment terms, and claim management - all from a practitioner’s point of view.
This course is designed for:
Project Managers and Engineers
Contract Administrators and QS professionals
Developers, Employers, and Consultants
Anyone who wants to master the FIDIC Red Book with real-world understanding
What you’ll learn:
Detailed clause-by-clause explanation of FIDIC Red Book.
Practical contract interpretation and site-based applications
Rights and obligations of the Contractor, Employer, and Engineer
How to handle variations, delays, claims, and disputes
Real examples and field-tested advice based on years of experience
Why this course is different:
This is not just theory. It’s based on actual experience from projects and you’ll hear my raw perspective, not textbook definitions.
Important Note:
This course is deep and detailed. Take your time and do not rush it. Come back to it when you’re handling a dispute, drafting a letter, or interpreting a clause. Use it like a working manual.
Let’s get started and let’s make FIDIC your strongest tool on any project.

It is very beneficial to have a course witch is divided so preciously by different clauses.

I have learned a lot in this and gained understanding for each clauses/sub-clauses. Top with real life scenarios and lessons learned. As serious as FIDIC Red Book is, actual application gives more context for me to understand how each clauses relates to each other. The hours spent in this course is more than worth in what I have learned.
