The CCCS/CCCA/CCDA qualification is valid for three years; in order to maintain your certification, you should accumulate 30 units of Professional Development Hours (1 Unit = 1 Hour).

Certificate validity: 1 year, Renewal Fee: £99 per year (total, even if you have more than one certificate to renew).

In order to ensure the quality of your training, 15 units (out of the 30 units of PDH) must be obtained from SCCSI approved courses which can be found at www.constructionclaimsmastercourse.com Alternatively, if you are a member of the SCCSI, you can get access to approved courses via the SCCSI LMS at heavily discounted rates.

In our opinion, 12 months is sufficient to complete all 8 courses.

It can even be done in 3–4 months if studied intensively.

However, please be advised that each programme (not level) can be activated separately (upon request by email).

You will have 12 months of access from the time of activation. Therefore, you may have up to 36 months (3 × 12) of access to the respective materials if using a staggered approach, as follows:

• ECCCA – Level 1+2+3: Study for 12 months
• ECCCS – Level 1+2+3: Upon request, activate and study it over the next 12 months
• ECCDA: Upon request, activate and spend another 12 months on this programme.

There is no deadline to schedule exams; you may take the exams even after your subscription expires. However, we recommend taking the exam while you still have access to the materials.

If needed, you may extend your access for an additional 12 months at a reduced fee.

Please note that the courses contain a large number of workshops and other materials for self-paced work, and the amount of time you will spend on them depends on you. Therefore, the time for completion will depend on how much time you can spare.

The CCCS/CCCA/CCDA programmes contain High Definition Video Tutorials (with multiple workshops in Excel and additional materials) which re-creates the ambience of a real-life seminar but allows students to progress at their own pace. Please note that you should be connected to the Internet to view the video tutorials.

Please note that the courses contain large number of workshops and other materials for self-paced work and the amount of time which you will spend on it depends on you (you will have 1 year to access the course materials).

Based on our knowledge and feedback received, professionals who are working full-time take ca. 2-3 weeks to complete one course (each programme consists of several courses); on average, you need to spend ca. 20-30 hrs per each course (not programme). Therefore, the time for completion would depend on how much time you have to spare.

1. You need access to the Internet to watch the video tutorials.

2. You need a Windows PC or laptop and MS Office.

3. Exam Requirements: A quiet, private room which is well-lit. You would also need a laptop with a webcam, good microphone, speakers and access to the Internet (ethernet not wifi)

Minimum speed requirement: 15Mbps (Download) and 10Mbps (upload) speeds

Additionally, please note that due to multiple technical issues encountered in the past, Macs (even with Bootcamp) may no longer be used for online exams. Students are required to use computers with Windows OS.
