CFMA’s Construction Contracts & Claims Management Legal Certificate Program is designed as an advanced certificate of completion program to specifically address the contract and legal nuances of the construction industry for CFPs.

CFMA’s Construction Contracts & Claims Management Legal Certificate Program — which starts on February 4, 2025, and is scheduled on five consecutive Tuesdays from 3-5 PM ET (12-2 PM PT), concluding on March 4 — is anchored in case studies and will be presented by leading industry professionals and delivered through live, online modules with interactive exercises that will require participation. A private online discussion community will provide you with the opportunity to share thoughts and engage with participants throughout the program.

The five modules in this advanced certificate program are:

• Defining Scope of Work & Payment Terms
• Navigating Changes & Unforeseen Conditions
• Time Is Money: Strategically Manage Delays & Schedule Interruptions
• Implementing Legal Remedies & Successful Dispute Resolutions
• Cover Your Bases: Insurance, Bonds & Indemnification

Each module will unpack a unique case study and will require your participation via live roundtable discussions, group assignments, and communication forums. You will receive a case study to read and review prior to each live session.

The Contracts & Claims Management Legal Certificate Program will conclude with a final activity in which you will be required to submit a one-page summary demonstrating knowledge learned.
