Have you achieved your NEC4 ECC Project Manager or TSC Service Manager Accreditation?
Build on that expertise with the NEC4 DBOC Service Manager Accreditation Extension.
As integrated procurement grows, clients are increasingly adopting the NEC4 Design Build and Operate Contract (DBOC) to bring design, construction and operation together under a single contract. That is increasing demand for professionals who can manage this form of delivery with confidence.
This course gives you the knowledge to apply your existing NEC expertise to DBOC, while earning another official NEC Accreditation.

What is the NEC4 Design Build and Operate Contract (DBOC)?
The NEC4 DBOC is used to appoint a Contractor to operate a Client's asset over a period of time, during which the Contractor also carries out significant new build or refurbishment to support that operation. It brings design, construction and operation together, functions usually kept separate, under a single contract with a single contractor.
Clear allocation of risk, and a collaborative approach to managing it, reduce uncertainty and disputes for all parties.
What do you already know, and what's different under DBOC?
Many of the collaborative principles you already know remain the same, including early warnings, compensation events, and mutual trust and co-operation.
The DBOC introduces differences that can significantly affect project outcomes, including the relationship between the Client's Scope and the Contractor's Scope, the Performance Table, and how compensation events operate under different Options. Understanding these differences is key to managing DBOC contracts with confidence.
Why does this accreditation matter?
- Gain another official NEC Accreditation from the creators of the NEC suite
- Demonstrate verified expertise across multiple NEC contract forms
- Strengthen your professional profile with employers and clients
- Join more than 19,000 professionals accredited through NEC training and listed on the NEC Accreditation Register
As integrated delivery becomes more common, professionals with expertise across multiple NEC contracts are best placed to support clients, win new opportunities and lead successful projects.

This course is for candidates who have already achieved the NEC4 ECC (Project Manager) Accreditation or the NEC4 TSC (Service Manager) Accreditation, and who want to extend their accreditation to cover DBOC.
