Hi Anish

None that I know of.

Your best route is to get a job as an assistant to an established delay analyst and learn at his/her elbow.

Best regards

Hi

I have seen a delay analyst from consultant he has graduation in following disciplines

PgCert.Arb, FCIArb.

Hi Shahul

The route to FCIArb is long and very expensive in both time and money.

First you need to be a qualified lawyer and then you have to be "mentored" by a fellow for two years at least - this means doing his work and paying him for the privilige.

This still does not give you a fellowship just membership.

When you have carried out a number of arbitrations you may be admitted as a fellow - the problem is that only fellows get the commissions - until one dies or retires and then you may move up the list a notch.

When you get to the Fellow stage you are making a LOT of money.

I could have joined the Institute of Arbitrators back in the mid 80’s when they were giving out membership for about 15 soap coupons - but I never bothered.

PgCert.Arb - never heard of it.

Best regards

Mike Testro.

PgCertArb is a Post Graduate Certificate in Arbitration, and is quite a common course in the UK. I however teaches you nothing about delay analysis.

A number of firms offer "training" in delay analysis, but this just teaches you the principles and does not make you one.

As Mike says, your best option is to work alongside someone who is already a delay analyst.

Dear Anish,

These are three different subjects:

Claims: This is prepared by the project team member who has knowledge in Contracts. If you are using FIDIC, then you can become a FIDIC chartered. It takes about 3-4 years of courses and with an exam at the end.

Arbitration: You need to follow the Arbitration Laws in the country that the Project is being executed. As a minimum you need to have done arbitration on projects before you apply for the board.

Delay Analyst: the AACE has a course in Forensic Delay. You can check their website.

With kind regards,

Samer
