    What Is Oracle Primavera P6 and Why Learn It in the UAE?The Standard for Capital Project Scheduling

    Oracle Primavera P6 Training is a practical, hands-on programme that teaches you to use Oracle Primavera P6, the enterprise scheduling application that plans and controls the UAE's largest capital projects. Delivered by Invensis Learning, it builds real project planning, scheduling, resource management and cost-control capability rather than theory alone. The training runs at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days, 16 hours) suits planners new to P6 and covers the enterprise project structure, activities, relationships, scheduling, the critical path, resources, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced (3 days, 24 hours) is for experienced users and covers resource and cost loading, earned value management, Claim Digger, multi-project programme control and custom reporting. Built on Oracle Primavera P6 EPPM and the critical path and earned value methods used across construction, oil and gas and infrastructure, it fits schedulers, project controls engineers and project managers. There is no formal test; you finish with job-ready P6 skills and a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on programme that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load and control projects using Primavera P6, the enterprise scheduling application. It runs at two levels, Fundamentals and Advanced, and is delivered by Invensis Learning with live P6 exercises throughout.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 training?

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on programme that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load and control projects using Primavera P6, the enterprise scheduling application. It runs at two levels, Fundamentals and Advanced, and is delivered by Invensis Learning with live P6 exercises throughout.

    Who should attend Primavera P6 training in the UAE?

    It suits project planners, schedulers, project controls engineers, project managers and PMO professionals in construction, oil and gas, infrastructure and utilities. Anyone responsible for planning or controlling projects on P6, or moving to it from another tool, will benefit.

    Is learning Primavera P6 worth it in the UAE?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is specified on most major UAE construction, EPC and infrastructure contracts, and skilled P6 planners are in short supply. Roles from scheduler to project controls manager pay strongly, and demand is rising with ADNOC and giga-project spending through 2026.

    Do I need prior experience to learn Primavera P6?

    No prior P6 experience is needed for the Fundamentals level; familiarity with basic project concepts helps but is not required. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience.

    What is the difference between the Fundamentals and Advanced levels?

    Fundamentals (2 days) covers the core skills: project structure, activities, relationships, scheduling, the critical path, resources, baselines and progress. Advanced (3 days) adds resource and cost loading, earned value, Claim Digger, multi-project management and custom reporting.

    Pricing

    How much does Primavera P6 training cost in the UAE?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Both Fundamentals and Advanced can be booked individually or as a corporate programme. Contact a learning advisor for a tailored quote.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically covers live instructor-led sessions, hands-on P6 exercises using realistic project scenarios, course materials and learner support, plus a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen format when you enrol.

    Do you offer corporate or group discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for planning teams, PMOs and project departments. Request a group quote for your team and we will tailor the programme to your projects.

    Do I need a Primavera P6 licence, and is it included?

    Oracle Primavera P6 is a separate commercial product from Oracle Corporation and is not included in the training fee. You should have P6 Professional or P6 EPPM accessible for the exercises. Check with Invensis Learning whether a training database or trial environment is provided.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    How is learning assessed on the Primavera P6 course?

    There is no formal test. Learning is reinforced through hands-on Primavera P6 exercises using realistic project scenarios across both levels. You finish able to plan and control a schedule in P6 and receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    What do I receive on completing the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning confirming the P6 skills you have built. The training focuses on practical, job-ready scheduling and project controls capability rather than a formal credential.

    Is this an official Oracle qualification?

    No. This is practical skills training delivered by Invensis Learning. Oracle Primavera P6 is the software you learn to use, and the course builds the hands-on ability to plan, schedule and control projects with it.

    Which version of Primavera P6 does the training use?

    Training uses current Oracle Primavera P6, available as P6 Professional and P6 EPPM. Confirm the exact software version and access arrangements with Invensis Learning before your session.

    Do I need to install Primavera P6 before attending?

    Yes. You should have Oracle Primavera P6 (P6 Professional or P6 EPPM) installed and accessible before the training. Check with Invensis Learning whether a training database or trial environment is provided as part of the course.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Primavera P6 training cover?

    It covers the full scheduling lifecycle: the enterprise project structure, activities and calendars, relationships and the critical path, resources, baselines and progress at Fundamentals, then cost loading, earned value, multi-project control and reporting at Advanced.

    What does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers navigating P6, the EPS, OBS and WBS, creating activities, calendars and relationships, running the scheduler, interpreting the critical path and float, assigning resources, setting baselines, updating progress and producing basic reports.

    What does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced covers advanced scheduling options, resource and cost loading, cost accounts, earned value management, baseline management and Claim Digger, multi-project and enterprise portfolio management, and custom layouts, reports and Excel integration.

    Will I get hands-on practice in Primavera P6?

    Yes. Both levels are built around live P6 exercises. You follow the trainer in P6 while working through realistic construction and capital-project scenarios, so you build genuine software proficiency through practice, not just theory.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured course materials, guided P6 exercises and reference guides that support step-by-step learning and revision. Confirm the exact resources for your chosen level and format with Invensis Learning.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Primavera P6 training in the UAE?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your level and preferred format, complete your booking, and you will receive access to schedules, joining details and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live virtual (online) instructor-led training, classroom training, and onsite corporate group training across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider UAE, so you can pick the format that fits your schedule and team.

    How long does the training take?

    The Fundamentals level runs over 2 days (16 hours) and the Advanced level over 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day or extended half-day sessions; confirm current scheduling options with Invensis Learning.

    Can I take both the Fundamentals and Advanced levels?

    Yes. You can attend either level independently or take them in sequence. If you are new to P6, start with Fundamentals; the Advanced level assumes Fundamentals-level experience with Primavera P6.

    Can I reschedule my booking to another batch?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or transfer to another batch, and selected plans allow you to attend the training again. Contact our support team to arrange this.
