UK NEC User Group Events
The NEC User Group is well established in the UK, and has had some success in the past in sharing information on the NEC in South Africa. ICE-SA is mandated to promote the NEC contract in South Africa, and hosts NEC User Group events when they are held in South Africa. ICE-SA also shares information on the implementation of the NEC Family of Contracts.
NEC User Group Training
The NEC User Group based in the UK offers many different training events to improve the skills of NEC Practitioners. Some of these are physical events, which are difficult for South African residents to participate in, however they also offer ONLINE events.
NEC online training enables you to gain a comprehensive and clear understanding of the NEC suite of contracts at any time, anywhere in the world, at your own pace.
