Project managers, contract managers and other

contractors and subcontractors - to accomplish key
organisational objectives. The environment in which
contracts are being developed is becoming increasingly
complex and the use of contracted supplies and
services throughout government and industry is rising.

and create an advantage whether you are on the
buyer’s or the seller’s side.
This course explores issues vital from the project
manager’s perspective, highlighting key roles and
responsibilities to give you greater influence over how
work is performed. You will also discuss actions that
can be taken to help ensure that contractors or
subcontractors perform as required under the contract.

maximise the learning experience. You will also receive
a comprehensive course materials package, including
unit-specific course materials.
Effective contract negotiation and administration can
ensure project success and can reduce risks and costs
along the way. Discover the key to contracting in this
practical course.
