The FIDIC YPMT Programme
Welcome to the FIDIC Young Professionals Management Training Programme – a seven months online management course for future leaders in the consulting engineering industry and similar technology based firms.
The 7 months course has two main elements: an online part where participants work in their office or at home using the online platform for communication, and a conference part where all participants meet for a 5-day intensive face to face training and mentoring prior to the annual FIDIC conference in September. The course is based on FIDIC principles and document standards.
The reference textbook is the FIDIC Guide to Practice (GtP). The electronic copy of the book is provided to the participants, together with other FIDIC relevant documents.

"The YPMTP 2018 and the FIDIC Infrastructure Conference in Berlin provided me with a platform to network with likeminded people around the globe with unbound benefits. that as much as we have diverse cultural backgrounds, we share the same challenges albeit in varying magnitude. ...
