Contract Management Training Course

Delegates to our contract management training courses join us from a wide variety of industries, including transport, energy, property development, local authorities, manufacturing, food production, education and research. One attendee commented that ‘Tutors take the time to understand the individuals and their roles and apply scenarios to the content and activities to those individuals’.

While delegates may come from different backgrounds, they are able to share their experiences in the group discussions within the course. Another delegate said that overall: ‘This is one of the best courses I have been on. I took a lot way from these two days.’

Yes, we will send you a certificate of attendance after completion of the course.

The aim of the course is to give delegates practical tools and techniques for improved professional management of the negotiation and contractual process with suppliers. The tutor combines classroom instruction with plenty of examples from real-life experience, and a commitment to open discussion among delegates.

One attendee commented that: ‘The course has given me the confidence to implement what I have learnt’.

Another said: ‘I can directly use the skills I learnt to help me in my role now. There were a lot of useful tips and guidance about contract management. The tutor was really good and the timings of the course, course material and breaks were perfect.’

If you would like to learn more about key negotiation skills and techniques, you may like to take a look at our Practical Negotiation Skills in Procurement and Contract Management training course.

Our tutors are chosen for their practical experience as well as their ability to deliver the content of the course in an interesting and engaging way. That is an approach that resonates with many of our delegates, with one summing up their experience as: ‘Great to listen to someone with real industry experience, not someone who acquired wholly theoretical information. The tutor seemed to be fully conversant with existing contracts [at our organisation].’

Tutors with proven expertise give delegates confidence in the knowledge they are imparting, as one delegate pointed out: ‘The tutor’s knowledge and experience was a huge reassurance.’

Documentation is important, but there is much more to successful contract management, which our expert tutor will cover in the course, and you will get an opportunity to discuss and practise over the 2 days. For example, how do you influence people to good outcomes? Why and how do you build good relationships? Why is risk management important? How do you measure and achieve great performance?

We will give you full course documentation, complete with plenty of space to make notes. You can take your course book back to use as a reference as you start to apply your learning. Past delegates have fed back positively on our course handouts, commenting that:

• ‘The course booklet was extremely detailed and useful and will be a helpful reference point for future work’
• ‘The course notes are invaluable and I'm pleased they have so much detail in that I can refer back to. I also love the way the course slides have space for us to make notes underneath so we can add in additional points’
