Product Details

Overview

The effective recruitment of professional services is a key component in the success of achieving project outcomes and optimizing infrastructure investments. Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) uses a best practice approach to outline procedures that support the selection of professional consultants based on qualifications, experience and competence to meet the demands of a specific project.

This course provides a simulated experience through the QBS process and the core principles supporting this approach, in order to explore its relative strengths and limitations. Course participants will work through a series of scenarios and deal with specific challenges in order to select consultants to support a project over its life cycle.
