Training in Contract & Claim Management

Our training programmes provide you with both practical knowledge and methods, as well as the theoretical foundations of contract and claim management. Unforeseen changes, as well as agreed planned changes, regularly encounter conflicting interests and harbour potential for conflict. However, conflict does not promote cooperation between contractual partners, which is an important factor for success in projects. The concepts developed by the Contract Academy for contract and claim management are particularly aimed at achieving the best possible commercial balance without putting more strain on the business relationship than necessary. Legal qualifications are not crucial for this. What is crucial is that the employees in the project teams proceed in a structured and qualified manner. The Contract Academy® is your competent training partner!

Qualification and Certification - Your key to success!

The three-stage training programme at the Contract Academy qualifies you to act and react proactively and in a legally compliant manner in order to secure your own claims and defend against unjustified third-party claims. You will benefit from our training in contract and claim management, whether you are a technical or commercial project manager, a project assistant, or work in engineering, purchasing or sales. You will be equipped to meet your daily challenges and achieve your project goals with the help of contract and claim management.

Our training programmes are based on the guidelines of the German Society for Contract & Claim Management e. V. (DGCCM) and form the basis for successfully acquiring certification according to the standards of the DGCCM. Three coordinated training courses for Principal, Master and Professional Claim Managers provide practical, in-depth knowledge and solutions for day-to-day work. Therefore, in addition to the German legal system, the Contract Academy seminars also address the special features of contracts in the international arena, such as the Anglo-American legal system. To meet international demand, all Contract Academy training programmes are available in both German and English.

The option of selecting suitable course modules and learning formats means that our training courses can be implemented flexibly in terms of content and time. The possible forms of learning include online and in-person courses, as well as individual or team-based offerings. Depending on the company's requirements, we can also create compact courses for you on the topics you want to focus on. The Contract Academy's knowledge is available to participants online in the form of a knowledge base for one year after completion of the courses. The extension can be booked at a significantly reduced price.

Successful contract and claim management: expertise is key

A contract in the sense of a project is successfully completed when the agreed services have been fully provided. Only then is there an entitlement to payment. Until then, however, there can be many pitfalls. Therefore, the project participants should know the basic methods and tools to avert economic disadvantage and to take appropriate measures to secure results.

A claim in the project business is a declaration that justifies the compensation of additional expenses incurred in the course of a project. Proactive contract and claim management supports the contract process on an ongoing basis, recognises risks at an early stage and implements targeted measures to ward off third-party claims and secure one's own claims.

Responsible and competent claim management is characterised by legal knowledge, communication skills and unambiguous contract formulation. This is a matter for all employees involved in the project, and it is important that the necessary skills are available in each case within the company for efficient interaction.
