First Rule Contract Training
Make sense of construction contracts, cut through the legalese, and negotiate with confidence.
The First Rule of a Successful Company Training Program:
Make learning engaging and relevant to your team's needs
Most company training programs typically cover company policies, safety procedures, and technical skills – often lacking a necessary focus on contract education. This common gap in training is attributed to a belief that mastering contracts is only for lawyers or legal experts. However, non-lawyer employees often find themselves responsible for handling contracts ranging from $5,000 to over $100 million without the necessary knowledge or training.
First Rule Training simplifies contract literacy by making it approachable, engaging, and practical for any team member involved in negotiating and managing contracts.
