MASCARENHAS INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR DISPUTES MANAGEMENT

Training for those who resolve disputes, build with certainty, and put AI to disciplined use.

MICDM Training Centre delivers practitioner-grade courses in construction law, international arbitration, adjudication, and applied AI for the legal and construction professions.

ABOUT THE CENTRE

Grounded in practice, not theory alone

MICDM Training Centre was built on the working experience of practitioners who sit as arbitrators, administer FIDIC contracts, and appear in adjudication proceedings across Mauritius's hybrid civil and common law system — not on borrowed material.

Every course is designed and delivered by professionals who apply the subject matter directly in live disputes, doctoral research, and international arbitration practice, then translate it into training that legal and construction professionals can use the next day.

Applying AI tools and workflows to real professional tasks and processes.

Problem Solving

Identifying where AI adds value and designing AI-augmented solutions.

Ethics and Governance

AI risk, bias, regulatory compliance, and responsible deployment principles.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION SERVICES

The MICDM Dispute Management Centre

Alongside its training programs, MICDM operates as an Adjudication Appointment Body — nominating and appointing independent, qualified adjudicators for construction and commercial disputes.

ADJUDICATION APPOINTMENT BODY

Where a contract or statutory adjudication scheme requires a nominating body, the Dispute Management Centre appoints an adjudicator from its panel — drawing on the same construction law, FIDIC, and dispute resolution expertise behind MICDM's training programs.

Appointments are made promptly and independently, with regard to the subject matter of the dispute and the availability and qualifications of panel members.

I
Submit a requestSend the relevant contract or scheme reference and a short description of the dispute to training@micdm.com.
II
Panel reviewThe Centre identifies an available adjudicator whose expertise matches the subject matter of the dispute.
III
Appointment confirmedBoth parties are notified of the appointment and the adjudicator's terms, in line with the applicable adjudication procedure.
WHY TRAIN WITH US

What the certificate actually stands for

01

Practitioner-led

Courses are taught by someone who currently practises as a chartered arbitrator and quantity surveyor — not a career trainer reading a licensed curriculum.

02

Mauritius-specific

Built for a hybrid civil and common law jurisdiction, where the Code Civil Mauricien, FIDIC, and the IAA 2008 all have to be read together.

03

Current, not archival

AI content is updated against live institutional guidance — SIAC, ICC, CIArb — rather than fixed at the point the course was first written.
