In-house courses

In order to provide the best possible training solutions and provide an enhanced focus on the specific training needs of an organisation the Confederation offers its “In-house” training service.

Offering greater flexibility and held at the client’s premises, or a suitable alternative venue, this approach allows for the maximum focus to be provided on specific training requirements. It also offers the opportunity to reduce the impact of days out of the office, travel and accommodation costs.

We have recently held a number of bespoke courses for companies representing different sectors of the construction industry, and for construction associations.

Courses recently delivered:

  • Commercial Reality
  • Contracts Overview
  • Contracts and Client Relationship Workshop
  • JCT 2011 and the 2016 Changes
  • Contractual Awareness for Salespeople and Key Staff
  • Contractually Supervising and Managing Specialist Construction Work

What they say about CCS courses

“As a ‘self – trained’ Contracts Manager of over 15 years, it was the most interesting + informative 1 Day course on the subject.”

“Excellent day course, well presented and delivered, it covered all our company’s needs.

“The company has benefited greatly by arranging this course. The course gave us a good understanding of contracts, including legal obligations and pitfalls.” 

“Can I just say again how informative and interesting yesterday’s course was and how I also enjoyed your delivery of it. Clearly you are passionate about promoting better industry standards.”
