    The Primavera P6 Skills You Will Build

    Hands-On, Job-Ready Capability

    This hands-on course takes you from creating your first schedule to controlling a full, cost-loaded programme. You practise every skill directly in Primavera P6 using realistic project scenarios, so you can apply it at work straight away. Fundamentals covers the first three areas below; Advanced adds cost, earned value, schedule comparison and multi-project control.

    Build and Schedule a Project

    Set up the enterprise project structure (EPS, OBS and WBS), create activities and calendars, link them with Finish-to-Start and other relationships, then run the scheduler to calculate the critical path and total float.

    Assign Resources and Roles

    Create labour, non-labour and material resources, assign them to activities with budgeted units and cost, and identify over-allocation so your plan stays realistic and resource-aware.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Create and assign the project baseline, advance the data date, update progress using physical percent complete and actual dates, and analyse start and finish variance against plan.

    Load Costs and Measure Earned Value

    Resource-load and cost-load the schedule, build the S-curve, and calculate earned value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, SPI, CPI and EAC for credible project controls and forecasting.

    Compare Schedules and Analyse Change

    Manage multiple baselines, use Claim Digger to compare two schedules, and produce variance narratives for contract administration, delay analysis and monthly progress reporting.

    Run Multi-Project Programmes and Reports

    Schedule multiple projects with cross-project relationships, apply enterprise resource management, and build custom layouts, filters and reports, including export to Excel.
