Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004 (QLD)
Adjudication Training Course

Essential Course Information

Who should attend?

Those wishing to attain:

• Adjudicator Registration with the QLD Building and Construction Industry Payments Agency;
• Adjudicator Certification which may assist accreditation in States other than QLD;
• An understanding of adjudication for the benefit of their clients, themselves or their organisation.

Course Content

The Adjudication process involves many facets of the industry including those involved in the works, goods and services, those who assist persons in a dispute and those who manage or make decisions of a dispute. Hence the course has been structured to include:

• Pre-course reading and material to be read and understood before attending the course;
• Two days of face-to-face training which will include theoretical and practical sessions focussed on attaining knowledge and skills essential for the conduct of Adjudication under the Act;
• Post-course practical Adjudicator Decision assignments (two in number)

Qualification upon successful completion

If all aspects of the course are completed to the satisfaction of the trainers the successful participant will receive a Certificate of Adjudication (certificate). The presentation of this certificate to the QLD BCIPA Registrar will satisfy the academic aspects required for registration as an Adjudicator. The certificate is one portion of registration. For more information refer to the QLD BCIPA website.

Statement of Attendance and Participation (Adjudication training)

The Statement of Attendance and Participation signifies a level of competency in an understanding of adjudication, which you may wish to complete first without necessarily completing the Adjudicator Training Certificate.

About the Trainers

Ian Hillman and Scott Pettersson are both very experienced Adjudicators and trainers, who have previously trained Adjudicators in both NSW and Qld as well as delivering a range of other courses on the Adjudication process. Both assisted in the implementation of the Act in NSW and QLD.

Ian is a qualified Adjudicator, Arbitrator and has in excess of 30 years experience at all levels of the construction industry. Scott holds a law degree, is a qualified Adjudicator and Director of a steel fabrication company. Both are excellent communicators who use real life examples to illustrate the learning point.

They are committed to knowledge transfer and excellence of decision making by Adjudicators and the preparatory work for the parties involved in the Adjudication process.

About the Authorised Nominating Authorities (ANAs)

The ANAs co-ordinating and authorising the training are each considering further appointments to their Adjudicator Panels in both Queensland and other states and have elected to work co-operatively to meet a market need. The Acts are similar in operation and judicial approach, so this course will provide a sound basis for adjudicating in numerous jurisdictions such as NSW.

Additionally, those not wishing to become registered adjudicators will be exposed to these ANAs who all have a commitment to providing excellence in services which supports the adjudication scheme for the parties, the adjudication service providers, the government agency and the adjudicators.

Disclaimer

Successful completion of the Adjudicator course does not mean that the person will be invited to join the panel of Adjudicators of one or more of the co-ordinating ANAs.
