Course Description

Workshop Description

This course consists of 2 case studies that came from actual claims. It is not a composite case, nor has it been embellished—it is simply real-life situations that involve design professionals. You will be asked to come up with a diagnosis and solutions and then compare it with key points that arise from these real cases.

This course in reading format qualifies for the XL Catlin risk management credit and 1 UFC.
