Course background
· This 3 DAY COURSE is designed to benefit those with professional and managerial construction experience in understanding what is required of the CDM Co-ordinator and how this may be effectively achieved. It will also detail the responsibilities placed on others involved in the design and management of construction projects including the client. The CDM Co-ordinator can be regarded as the ‘Client’s Friend’, whose responsibilities include assisting the Client in discharging his responsibilities.
· The course will include workshop sessions during which delegates will be able to carry out syndicate exercises, putting into practice the issues discussed on the course. A comprehensive work book will be provided for use on the course and for future reference.
