Introduction

When constructing and executing a schedule for a construction project, it is essential to be able to predict and analyse any delays. Our Forensic Schedule Analysis training will teach you methods and techniques that you need in order to do this as effectively as possible. By using detail, precision and skill, at the end of the Forensic Schedule Analysis training, you will be able to minimise delays as well as the financial or contractual impact of any delays which do occur in your construction project.

The College of Contract Management’s Forensic Schedule Analysis training is a 2-day intensive face-to-face course. We always hold it at a 5-star hotel where you will be taught by experienced experts in the field. During the 2 days, you’ll learn to quantify delay, determine causation, assess responsibility and financial consequences of delays. The course is designed to give you practical skills, therefore your learning will be based on practical examples and case studies of challenges faced by professionals and the industry. Cabaret-style seating allows you to interact with your fellow learners to discuss topics and connect with fellow industry professionals.

Due to the current global situation, many people are working remotely and all face to face training is moving to live online training. We deliver the course through live online lectures. This allows you to get a British education from wherever you are in the world. You can ask your lecturer questions, as you would in a physical classroom. We will not offer any recording.

Direct AAPE Academic Entry 

This course offers the British National Occupational Standard and is recognised by the Society of Construction Law UK and Association of Planning Engineers (APE). This course offers direct entry to become AAPE upon successful completion.

We hold our courses at the weekend so that your work schedule won’t be affected.

Please note that we also offer an online Forensic Schedule Analysis course.

I would strongly recommend their services for CIOB PR coaching

College of contract management is a very professional college; I would strongly recommend their services for CIOB-PR coaching. I selected online services during COVID. Their techniques/ slides quality/ webinars assisted me very well to understand competency requirements of CIOB. They were very proactive in their communications and approachable that bonded and helped gain confidence to successfully achieve my MCIOB in the very first attempt. A very big thanks to college and all associated in supporting me achieve prestigious chartered membership.

The support and collaborative approach by CCM has made it possible for me

Very often, we take steps towards our desired goal but sometimes we might fail and sometimes we see the bright light of success with the guidance from the right people. The support and collaborative approach by CCM has made it possible for me. The succinct details for the professional review were clearly defined by the institute and I feel it was a value for money. My application has succeeded and finally, I am felicitated with MCIOB. Many thanks to the instructor and Rebecca for being part of my success story.

Mark Nelson
Senior Quantity Surveyor

I will be forever appreciative

After careful consideration on whether to undertake the CIOB professional review direct with the CIOB or go through the College of Contract Management UK I choose the excellent service provided by CCM. My decision was based upon the impressive fact that the CCM has a 100% pass rate in the professional review coaching service. My result supports this fact as I passed on my first attempt. CCM helped me achieve my professional goal for 2020 and for that I will be forever appreciative.

Thank you for giving me the zest to learn new things

I got the chartered membership (MCIOB), and I would like to thank you for your support. To get the chartered membership was challenging for me, but the CCM team were always there supporting me and ready to help. Assessor feedback was excellent. I have not only gained the Chartered membership but also a confidence to appear for better job opportunities. Thank you for giving me the zest to learn new things. I look forward to taking further guidance for another professional membership.
