Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Most FCCM candidates do not lose marks because they never opened the FIDIC books. They lose marks because a well-built distractor sends them to the wrong edition, the wrong trigger date, the wrong recipient, or a “Notice” that is not really a Notice.
Practice tests tell you that you got a question wrong. This course shows you why the wrong option looked right, so you stop falling for the same pattern.
THE PROBLEM
Mixing 1999 and 2017 periods: 7 days or 14 days? 42 days or 84 days?
Counting from the wrong event: sent or received, the first event or the later one
Treating an advance warning, an e-mail or meeting minutes as a valid Notice
Missing the deemed result, the lapse or the stated exception that decides the answer
WHAT IS INSIDE: 50 exam-style scenario questions on video, in the 8 FCCM task areas
Project initiation: choosing the Book by risk, Golden Principle 3, the Engineer’s two roles, the priority of documents
Pre-construction: Performance Security, commencement, the advance payment and its repayment, the Base Date, Site access
Execution of the works: the Programme, advance warning, EOT for Variations, concurrency, Delay Damages, suspension, instructions, termination
QC/QA: the Quality Management System, tests, varied tests, defects before taking over, the Contractor’s continuing obligations
Communications: what makes a Notice valid, deemed receipt, monthly reports, replacing the Engineer
Financial control: Statement, IPC and payment dates, withholding, financing charges, retention, Cost and profit
Claims and disputes: the 28-day Notice, the fully detailed Claim, Sub-Clause 3.7, the NOD, the DAAB, amicable settlement, Sub-Clause 21.7
Project closeout: Performance Security validity and return, the Performance Certificate, Site clearance, the discharge
HOW EVERY QUESTION RUNS (about 95 minutes of narrated video across 8 lectures, plus a short introduction and wrap-up)
The scenario and four options built to be parallel (usually differing in a period, party, trigger or clause), so length and wording do not give the answer away; then you pause and decide
The trap that the distractors are built on
A four-step IRAC route: Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion
The correct answer with the clause wording quoted from the original FIDIC text
Why each wrong option fails, and one key idea to keep
ALSO INCLUDED
A 50-question practice test with an explanation for every option, the trap and the key idea
A 3-page downloadable quick-reference PDF: the key 2017 and 1999 time periods, the five recurring traps, and the key idea of every question
TEXTS USED
The Red Book 2017 (original, unamended General Conditions) is the main text, with Red Book 1999 comparisons where examiners like to test the difference, plus one Silver Book 2017 and one Golden Principles question.
