ICE NW is delivering a training course in Manchester, which will prepare engineers (and other professionals) to sit the ICE Law and Contract exam. Evening sessions start on Tuesday 24 September in central Manchester.
Success in the exam is seen to be the first stage in becoming qualified as an adjudicator or arbitrator or as essential additional learning for those involved in project management.
The course involves about 120 hours of study time, from September through to the following May, with the exam sat in June.
As well as preparation for the ICE exam, the course aims to explain: the English legal system and its application to civil engineering contracts; the contents of the NEC contract documents, the contract procedures, the reasons why disputes arise and how they can be resolved.
This course is designed for those civil engineers and other professionals involved in civil engineering and construction who, in their employment, are becoming increasingly involved in contractual issues with authorities, consulting engineers and contractors.
Lectures will be from a range of industry practitioners, academia and the law lectures by Hill Dickinson.
Alan Butler, Regional Director, said, “We are delighted to be able to offer this course in Manchester for the first time. Anyone involved in contractual issues knows the complexities – this course will offer not only a solid grounding in law and contract procedure, but also the opportunity to sit the ICE exam, gain a valuable qualification, and take the first step to being qualified as an adjudicator or arbitrator.”
