FIDIC certification prep
Test your knowledge on a practice test, then dive into the materials for each track. Corporate programmes on request.
FIDIC Credentialing Ltd (FCL) administers two principal credentials. Both validate a consultant’s competence in the infrastructure sector, but they target different profiles: FCCE is for engineers in senior roles, FCCP extends to non-engineering roles as well. The distinction matters at the point of choosing: the experience and education requirements differ.

Qualified engineers in senior roles within consulting engineering. Validates the ability to manage both the business and the technical side of an infrastructure project.
Requirements

- ·a professional engineering licence or Chartered / Professional Engineer status

How to prepare
- 01 Start with the Rainbow Suite: understanding how the Red, Yellow and Silver Books differ on risk allocation underpins everything else.
- 02 Work the Sub-Clause 20.2 claims cycle until it is automatic: the 28 and 84-day periods, the Engineer’s role, the step up to the DAAB.
- 03 Drill the Engineer’s role and the determination mechanism under Sub-Clause 3.7 — questions on neutrality come up regularly.
- 04 Test yourself above, then close the gaps against the knowledge base articles rather than summary notes.
- 05 Study FIDIC’s values separately — quality, integrity, sustainability: they are not decorative and form part of the assessed material.

Author →Questions about certification
What is the difference between FCCE and FCCP?
FCCE targets qualified engineers in senior roles and requires a STEM degree, an engineering licence and at least five years in consulting engineering. FCCP is broader: at least three years of consulting experience in infrastructure and construction, with no engineering background required — it suits lawyers, contract managers and procurement specialists.
Do you need FCCP before FCCE?
No. They are not sequential steps on one ladder but separate credentials for different profiles. An engineer who meets the FCCE requirements can go straight to it. The choice follows your education, licence and the nature of your role, not an order of difficulty.
How long is the certification valid?
The FCCE certification is valid for three years from the date of issue, after which recertification is required. Renewal conditions and continuing professional development requirements are set by FIDIC Credentialing and should be checked at fcl.fidic.org before planning: the rules are updated periodically.
Does certification help in MDB tenders?
Bank bidding documents do not usually require FCCE or FCCP outright. But key personnel qualifications are evaluated, and FIDIC-verified competence strengthens a team’s position — particularly in contract administration and claims roles. Check the criteria of the specific tender rather than a general rule.
Requirements, pass marks and validity periods are stated per FIDIC Credentialing Ltd (fcl.fidic.org) as at July 2026. The rules are updated periodically — check the primary source before applying.
