vs traditional NEC4 training (£250-800+)
NEC4 adoption is accelerating globally. More clients are mandating NEC4 competence in their tender requirements. Don't let your career fall behind the industry standard.
Every one of these problems has a real cost — in delays, disputes, lost entitlements, and damaged professional reputation.
Your CE was rejected by the PM — and you're not sure why
↓ Loss of entitlement worth potentially millions
You missed an 8-week time bar — now the claim is dead
↓ Permanent loss of compensation, no second chance
Defined Cost vs Fee — you keep getting the split wrong
↓ CE quotations rejected or significantly under/over-valued
Your programme keeps getting rejected by the PM
↓ Delays in acceptance, no basis for CE assessment
Early warnings turned into disputes instead of preventing them
↓ Loss of trust, adversarial relationship, costly adjudication
You're managing NEC4 like it's JCT or FIDIC
↓ Wrong mindset = wrong outcomes. NEC4 demands a different approach

The module on compensation events saved my team from a £200k+ mistake. We were about to miss a notification deadline without even realising it.

I came from a JCT background and the NEC4 mindset was completely different. This course bridged that gap in a way no other training did.

Understanding the NEC4 family, core principles, and contract structure
NEC3 vs NEC4 — still using the old form? In 2026, not knowing NEC4 means your contract management is already outdated.
All 21 compensation events explained with real construction examples
A single missed compensation event can cost your project millions. Do you know which of the 21 events is most commonly overlooked?
Why this is the most expensive trap in NEC4 and how to protect yourself
Miss the 8-week notification deadline and your entitlement is gone — permanently. This is the most expensive trap in NEC4.
Master the notification and quotation process step by step
Your CE notification was rejected? Chances are the format was wrong. A non-compliant notification is as good as no notification.
How compensation events are valued under NEC4 ECC
Defined Cost vs Fee — get the calculation wrong and you could be 30% off. Most assessors are making this mistake.
Proactive risk management under NEC4
Early warnings aren't just 'telling the boss' — mishandle them and you create disputes instead of preventing them.
Why the Accepted Programme is your most important document
Your Accepted Programme isn't just a schedule — it's the beating heart of the contract. Get it wrong and everything else falls apart.
Lump sum, target cost, and everything in between
Pick the wrong pricing option and your entire project's risk profile shifts. Option A or C — are you sure you chose correctly?
Getting paid correctly under NEC4
Payment disputes are the #1 cause of NEC4 friction. Five common mistakes that delay your payment — and how to avoid them.
Resolving disagreements without derailing the project
Adjudication gives you 28 days — can you prepare a submission in time? W1 vs W2 — choosing the wrong route is a procedural disaster.
Understanding termination rights, procedures, and consequences
Termination isn't just 'cancelling the contract' — get the procedure wrong and you could be the one facing a claim.
Compare NEC4 with JCT, FIDIC, and other standard forms
Coming from JCT or FIDIC? The NEC4 mindset shift is bigger than you think — and getting it wrong from day one will cost you.
