An engaging online management learning opportunity for young rising engineers and other consulting professionals. 

Programme overview 

The focus of this FIDIC programme is to strengthen the business expertise of young engineers and other professionals working in the field of consulting engineering. It also offers networking opportunities and an insight into FIDIC global activities. The programme entails five case studies, six webinars followed by a test at the end of the programme, as a condition for obtaining the FIDIC certificate of completion. To facilitate participation around the world, the programme is delivered online in two timezones.

FIDIC has always offered attendance at FIDIC's Annual Conference as part of FIDIC’s Future Leaders Management Certificate. Attendance at the Conference and the networking opportunities which it offers has been one of the many highlights of the programme and the FLMC programme also intends to offer FIDIC’s 2021 online Annual Infrastructure Conference at a 50% discounted rate.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, FIDIC’s Annual Infrastructure Conference will be held online in 2021. However, we are hopeful that FIDIC’s Annual Infrastructure Conference will go ahead in person in 2022. As was the case in 2020, 2021 FLMC participants will be able to participate in the online conference and attend the FLMC award ceremony online in September 2021.

Graduates of the FLMC programme are entitled to participate in the activities of FIDIC’s Future Leaders Group led by the Future Leaders Council (FLC). The group aims to promote and empower Future Leaders (FLs) within the FIDIC community to participate effectively in shaping the future of the Consulting Engineering Industry and provide networking opportunities and regular get-togethers.
