Programme in Construction Adjudication
Brief Description
The Programme in Construction Adjudication provides you with a unique opportunity to examine the various initiatives being implemented in the promotion and application of construction adjudication. This has given rise to a greater need for construction and legal professionals to advise, assist and/or represent parties, and those who already practice or intend to practice as adjudicators to be trained further in the practice of construction adjudication. As it is progressively becoming more entrenched as a procedure for resolving construction disputes across the South African construction industry, this programme aims to assist you in implementing a relevant statutory framework for construction.This course is presented in cooperation with MDA Consulting (Pty) Ltd.
