It runs at Fundamentals and Advanced levels and includes no examination.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 Training?

    Oracle Primavera P6 Training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load, cost-load and control projects using Oracle Primavera P6, the enterprise scheduling software from Oracle Corporation. It runs at Fundamentals and Advanced levels and includes no examination.

    Who should take this Primavera P6 course in Canada?

    It suits project planners, schedulers, project controls engineers, project managers and PMO professionals in construction, oil and gas, LNG, power and infrastructure. Fundamentals is ideal for new or occasional P6 users, while Advanced is for experienced users seeking practitioner-level skills.

    Is Primavera P6 worth learning in Canada?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is the scheduling tool most widely specified on Canadian capital projects, and experienced planners are in short supply as LNG, pipeline, nuclear and infrastructure work scales up. The skill maps to planner, scheduler and project controls roles across several sectors.

    Do I need prior scheduling experience to start?

    No. The Fundamentals level has no formal prerequisites and is designed for beginners; basic familiarity with project concepts helps but is not required. For the Advanced level, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on Primavera P6 experience.

    Is this course available online in Canada?

    Yes. The training is available online as live virtual instructor-led sessions, as well as in classroom and onsite corporate formats across Canada. You can choose the format that fits your schedule and location. Talk to a learning advisor to see current options.

    Pricing

    How much does Primavera P6 training cost in Canada?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Ask for a quote for Fundamentals, Advanced or both, and for individual or corporate group rates. Reach out to a learning advisor for current Canadian pricing.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across the modules, hands-on P6 exercises, structured courseware and reference materials, learner support, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen format when you enrol.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for planning teams, PMOs and project controls groups. Sessions can use your own project data. Contact us for a tailored group quote for your team.

    Do I need to buy Oracle Primavera P6 software separately?

    Oracle Primavera P6 is a separate commercial product from Oracle Corporation, so you need access to a P6 Professional or P6 EPPM environment for the exercises. Confirm at enrolment whether a training environment is provided or whether you should arrange your own P6 access.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this Primavera P6 course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination at either level. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Primavera P6 exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you build proficiency by doing the work throughout the programme.

    Do I receive anything on completing the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing each level. It confirms the P6 training you completed. There is no external credential, because the course is designed to build practical, workplace-ready scheduling skills.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Throughout both levels you follow live P6 exercises alongside the trainer, working through realistic project scenarios. This hands-on practice lets you check your understanding and build genuine software proficiency as you go.

    Which version of Oracle Primavera P6 is used in training?

    Training uses a current supported release of Oracle Primavera P6, such as the P6 Professional client or the web-based P6 EPPM edition. Confirm the exact version for your scheduled session at enrolment so you can match your own environment.

    Do I need P6 installed before the training starts?

    You should have access to Oracle Primavera P6 to follow the hands-on exercises. Confirm with us whether a training environment is provided or whether you need to install P6 Professional or arrange P6 EPPM access before your session begins.

    Course Content

    What does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals is a 2-day, 16-hour programme covering the enterprise project structure (EPS, OBS, WBS), creating a project, activity types and calendars, relationships and the critical path, resource assignment, baselines, progress updating and basic reports in Primavera P6.

    What does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced is a 3-day, 24-hour programme covering advanced scheduling options, resource and cost loading, cost accounts, earned value management, baseline comparison and Claim Digger, multi-project and portfolio management, and custom reporting with Excel integration.

    How long is each level of the training?

    Fundamentals runs for 2 days (16 hours total) and Advanced for 3 days (24 hours total). Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats. You can attend either level on its own or complete both in sequence.

    Will I get hands-on practice in Primavera P6?

    Yes. Both levels are built around live, hands-on P6 exercises. You follow the trainer in the software, working through realistic construction, engineering and capital-project scenarios, so you leave able to apply the skills on real projects immediately.

    Can I take the two levels separately?

    Yes. Fundamentals and Advanced can be attended independently or in sequence. Start with Fundamentals if you are new to P6, or go straight to Advanced if you already use the software and want practitioner-level cost, earned value and multi-project skills.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the Primavera P6 course in Canada?

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

    What training formats are available?
