Testimonials – what our clients say...
Senior Capital Projects Manager, Royal Museums GrenwichThis course helped me to develop a clear understanding of contracts currently being used on construction projects. The tutor was very easy to listen to and understand and is clearly very knowledgeable in this field. And, although a long day spent on Teams, it remained engaging and informative!
