Contract Administration Basics

Every organisation runs on contracts: the cleaning service, the software licence, the client project, the vehicle lease. Someone has to know what was agreed, when it ends and whether both sides are keeping their promises. That someone is often an administrator, not a lawyer. This module sets out what the course covers, what it does not cover, and how to get the most from it.
