- COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you decide

Is this programme suitable if I am not technical?

Yes. The programme is built specifically for legal and business professionals, not technologists. FEDIC fundamentals are explained in plain legal terms, and every topic is framed around legal practice, risk, and governance , not engineering. You do not need any prior technical knowledge to participate fully and benefit.

Is this relevant for in-house counsel?

Very much so. In-house counsel are a primary audience for this programme. The curriculum directly addresses governance, compliance, contracts, investigations, transactions, and advising management on FEDIC risk , all areas where in-house counsel are increasingly expected to provide informed, confident guidance.

Will the programme focus on practical use cases?

Yes. Every day includes practical work: live demonstrations, clause improvement exercises, case-based learning, real legal scenario discussions, governance design exercises and compliance gap identification. This is not a lecture series. It is a working programme designed to build practical judgment.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. EMG Associates is authorised by the SRA and Dubai GLAD to provide CPD. Participation counts towards your applicable CPD/CLPD requirements, subject to your professional body's rules.

What if I need to cancel?
