Claude AI for Contracts and Commercial Managers: +50 Example

“This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”

Claude AI for Contracts and Commercial Managers: Mastering Prompt Engineering

This course is based on the uploaded structure covering FIDIC, NEC4, claims, disputes, and 50 practical Claude demonstrations across the contract lifecycle.

Course Description

AI is rapidly changing how contracts and commercial professionals work, but generic AI tools often fail when applied to real contract management tasks. Construction and infrastructure contracts require formal language, clause accuracy, structured reasoning, and professional judgement. A poorly drafted notice, incomplete claim, or incorrect contractual reference can create serious commercial consequences.

This course teaches you how to use Claude AI as a practical contract management assistant for real-world projects using FIDIC Yellow Book, FIDIC Red Book, NEC4 ECC, and internationally recognised commercial practices.

This is not an introductory AI course and it is not a theory-only course.

Instead of spending hours discussing AI concepts, this course takes you directly into real professional workflows, live demonstrations, and practical contract management scenarios that contracts managers, commercial managers, quantity surveyors, and engineers encounter every day.

You will work through 50 live Claude demonstrations, learning how to use AI to create, review, analyse, and improve contractual and commercial documents while maintaining professional responsibility and contractual accuracy.

Throughout the course you will learn how to structure prompts using the RACE Framework:

• Role

• Ask

• Context

• Examples

This framework allows you to consistently generate more accurate and professionally structured outputs for contractual work.
