    What Oracle Primavera P6 Is and Why It MattersUntitledYour Route to Enterprise Project Scheduling

    Oracle Primavera P6 Training in the United Kingdom gives project professionals the practical skills to plan, schedule and control complex projects using Oracle Primavera P6, the enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) software from Oracle Corporation. It is the scheduling standard on major UK construction, rail, nuclear, energy and defence programmes, where P6 schedules are often a contractual requirement. The course runs at two levels: a 2-day Fundamentals programme for new or occasional users covering the enterprise project structure, activity scheduling, relationships, the critical path, resource assignment, baselines and progress tracking; and a 3-day Advanced programme for experienced users covering resource and cost loading, earned value management, Claim Digger, multi-project control and custom reporting. Every session is hands-on, with live P6 exercises built on realistic project scenarios. This is a practical, hands-on skills course. There is no examination; on completion you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning and, more importantly, P6 proficiency you can apply immediately on the job. Whether you are moving from Microsoft Project or Excel, or sharpening advanced project controls skills, this is a clear route to confident enterprise scheduling.

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

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule and control projects using Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise project portfolio management software. It runs at Fundamentals (2 days) and Advanced (3 days) levels and needs no exam.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 training?

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule and control projects using Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise project portfolio management software. It runs at Fundamentals (2 days) and Advanced (3 days) levels and needs no exam.

    Who should take Primavera P6 training?

    It suits project planners, schedulers, project controls engineers, project and programme managers, and PMO professionals who plan or control complex projects. It is especially valuable in UK construction, rail, nuclear, energy and defence, where P6 is the standard scheduling tool.

    Is Primavera P6 worth learning in the UK?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is specified on most major UK capital projects, from HS2 and Network Rail to Hinkley Point C and grid upgrades, and a skills shortage keeps capable P6 planners in demand. The skills apply immediately on the job and travel across sectors and regions.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Take Fundamentals if you are new to Primavera P6 or use it occasionally and want a solid foundation in scheduling, resources and baselines. Take Advanced if you already use P6 and want to master resource and cost loading, earned value, Claim Digger, multi-project control and custom reporting.

    Do I need prior experience to start?

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

    Pricing

    How much does Primavera P6 training cost in the UK?

    Fees vary by level, delivery mode and group size, so pricing is available on request. Fundamentals and Advanced can be booked individually or together, and corporate group rates are available. Request a quote for current UK pricing.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on P6 exercises, learner support and a course completion certificate. Confirm exactly what your chosen format includes when you request a quote.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for planning teams, PMOs and departments. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

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

    You should have access to Primavera P6 (P6 Professional or P6 EPPM) for the hands-on exercises. The P6 software licence is a separate Oracle product; ask our advisors whether a training environment is provided for your session.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Primavera P6 training?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination at either level. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on P6 exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the training.

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the Fundamentals or Advanced programme. It recognises the training you completed and the practical P6 skills you built.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you build proficiency through guided, hands-on exercises in Primavera P6, applying each feature as it is taught so you can use it confidently at work.

    What will I be able to do after Fundamentals?

    You will be able to navigate P6, build the enterprise project structure, create activities and relationships, run the scheduler, interpret the critical path and float, assign resources, set a baseline and update progress.

    What will I be able to do after Advanced?

    You will be able to resource and cost load a schedule, calculate and report earned value, use Claim Digger to compare schedules, manage multiple projects, and build custom layouts and reports for project controls.

    Course Content

    What topics does Primavera P6 training cover?

    Fundamentals covers the enterprise project structure, activities, relationships, scheduling, the critical path, resources, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced covers resource and cost loading, earned value, baseline management and Claim Digger, multi-project control and custom reporting.

    What is the difference between P6 Professional and P6 EPPM?

    P6 Professional is the desktop client for single-user scheduling, while P6 EPPM is the web-based enterprise edition for multi-user portfolio, resource and reporting management. The training builds skills that apply across both editions.

    Are the sessions hands-on?

    Yes. Every module includes live Primavera P6 exercises built on realistic construction and engineering scenarios, so you learn by doing rather than just watching demonstrations.

    How long is each level?

    Fundamentals runs over 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced over 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats; confirm the schedule that suits you when you enrol.

    Will I learn earned value management in P6?

    Yes, at the Advanced level. You learn to calculate and report BCWS, BCWP and ACWP with SPI, CPI, EAC and TCPI, and to generate earned value S-curves for project performance reporting.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Primavera P6 training?

    Choose your level and preferred format on the Invensis Learning website, complete your booking, and you will receive access to the schedule, courseware and joining details. You can also talk to a learning advisor to pick the right option.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live online (virtual instructor-led) training, in-person classroom sessions, onsite delivery and customised corporate group training, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and team.

    Can I take the training online in the UK?

    Yes. Primavera P6 training is available online as live virtual instructor-led sessions, so professionals across the UK can attend from any location while keeping the same hands-on, trainer-led experience.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my booking?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or move to another batch on selected plans. Contact our support team to arrange a change to your booking.

    How soon can I start?

    New Fundamentals and Advanced batches run regularly in live online and classroom formats across the UK. See upcoming schedules or speak with an advisor to find the next available session.
