From Contractors, Project Managers, Clients and Consultants, Ctori are able to provide their expertise and training to a range of companies and sectors seeking to develop their knowledge of the NEC contract or to be introduced to the contract entirely.  “The tailormade course was clear, concise and targeted. The questions from the Morgan Sindall delivery teams, who have varying levels of NEC experience, were well answered and the use of practical examples brought the subject matter to life.” says Paul Dwyer, Commercial Manager at Morgan Sindall Infrastructure, about the recent training course delivered to the Morgan Sindall Infrastructure team for their works on Welsh Water’s Asset Management Plans (AMPs) Framework. The introductory course to the NEC3 ECC Contract is by far the most popular course, which is offered to clients who are either new to the NEC contract or have had limited experience using it. Both Introductory Courses to the NEC3 and NEC4 Contracts provide delegates with a total of 7 CPD points each per full-day’s training session. These course cover basic principles such as contract strategy for procurement, time, payments, early warnings and compensation events.
