The British Academy for Training and Development offers this training program in EPCIC Contract Management in Offshore Operations and Offshore Platforms to provide participants with a solid understanding of contractual management practices related to offshore energy projects and offshore platform developments.

The program examines the contractual principles governing Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning activities within offshore environments where technical, commercial, and operational requirements must be effectively managed. Participants will explore contract structures, procurement processes, performance obligations, risk allocation, compliance requirements, and contractor relationship management throughout the project lifecycle. The program also addresses change management, claims administration, and project handover requirements that support successful project execution. By strengthening contract management knowledge and skills, participants will be better prepared to administer EPCIC agreements, protect contractual interests, and support the efficient delivery of offshore operations and platform projects.
