Petroleum Contract Risk & Dispute Resolution Training Course in Pretoria, South Africa
Classroom training in Pretoria · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 3,200
Rising expectations for accountability, efficiency and measurable results leave little room for improvised approaches to risk registers and mitigation clauses. Across 5 days, participants work through risk registers and mitigation clauses, claims, variations, and change control, and contract risk categories and allocation, practising each technique on realistic workplace cases rather than abstract theory. Short expert inputs alternate with guided practice and peer discussion, keeping every topic anchored in the realities of the workplace. The programme suits procurement officers and managers, supply chain and logistics professionals, and contract and tender administrators, along with anyone stepping into a role where this work becomes part of the job.
By the end, participants can plan and apply claims, variations, and change control, judge the quality of the evidence in front of them and present recommendations that decision-makers can act on. Training is available in the classroom, online or in-house, and in-house sessions can be tailored to a team's own systems, cases and priorities. Successful participants receive a CPD-accredited certificate recording the learning hours completed. Places can be booked online for any upcoming session.
