About Us

Ellipsis Seminars are an independent company and are not affiliated with any organisations that produce or promote contracts. Therefore, the courses we provide are entirely unbiased and cover the pitfalls as well as the positives.

Ellipsis Seminars specialise in providing Contract training courses on the 1999 and 2017 FIDIC Conditions of Contract. In particular Construction (Red Book), Plant and Design-Build (Yellow Book) and EPC /Turnkey (Silver Book). We can also provide training on the FIDIC Short Form of Contract (Green Book) and the Design-Build-Operate form (Gold Book), as well as on ENAA-based conditions of contract such as the design and build form used by the Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank and others.

We provide ‘public’ courses on the most popular conditions of contract, such as on the practical use of the FIDIC ‘Red’ and ‘Yellow’ Books, to which anyone may apply to attend. These are advertised on our ‘upcoming events’ page, to our subscribers and by limited direct marketing.

We also provide ‘in-house’ courses, which can be delivered as either in-person or virtual courses. These are available for an individual company or organisations. Here at Ellipsis Seminars, we can tailor all of our courses to the needs of any business, in terms of both time and content. For example, the addition of an extra half-day/day for a workshop. We can also develop bespoke courses for companies and organisations.
