Primavera P6 is the backbone of planning on the world’s largest construction and engineering projects, trusted to manage schedules that span thousands of resource-loaded activities. This program builds comprehensive, practical command of P6 from schedule creation through to progress control and performance reporting, giving planners the tools to keep complex projects on time and on budget.
Planning and project-controls roles consistently command strong salaries, and P6 expertise is the single most requested skill in those positions. This course develops genuine scheduling discipline rather than mere button-pushing, and introduces emerging integration with BIM 4D and analytics, ensuring delegates can deliver the rigorous, data-driven planning that major projects depend on.
Course Objectives
Upon the successful completion of this program, attendees will be able to:
- Navigate the Primavera P6 environment and enterprise structures
- Create projects and well-structured work breakdown structures
- Build activity networks with correct logic relationships
- Apply constraints, calendars, and realistic durations
- Calculate and analyse the critical path and float
- Assign resources and costs to activities accurately
- Establish and manage project baselines
