    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals if you are new to Primavera P6 or use it occasionally. Choose Advanced if you already work in P6 and want to master resource and cost loading, earned value, Claim Digger and multi-project control. You can take either level on its own or both in sequence.

    Is learning Primavera P6 worth it in Malawi?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is the scheduling tool used on Malawi's largest road, hydropower and mining projects, and many contracts specify it by name. With skilled planners scarce against a growing pipeline, hands-on P6 capability is a strong career differentiator.

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Fundamentals runs over 2 days and Advanced over 3 days, with corporate group rates available. Request a quote for current pricing and upcoming batches.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, hands-on Primavera P6 exercises, structured course materials, practical activities and learner support, plus a course completion certificate. Ask a learning advisor to confirm what is included in your chosen format.

    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 controls groups. Contact us for a tailored quote for your organisation.

    Is the Primavera P6 software included in the fee?

    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 your team.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this P6 course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise each feature and workflow in Primavera P6 as the trainer demonstrates it, building proficiency through realistic exercises so you can apply the skills confidently at work.

    What do I receive when I complete the training?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning that recognises the training you have completed, along with practical Primavera P6 scheduling and project controls skills that are immediately usable.

    Do I need P6 experience before I start?

    For the Fundamentals level, no prior Primavera P6 experience is required, though basic project management awareness helps. For the Advanced level, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience.

    Will this training make me job-ready on Primavera P6?

    Yes. The training is built around live P6 exercises rather than theory, so you leave able to create, schedule, resource-load, baseline and report on a project. Those are the practical skills employers on capital projects expect.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the Fundamentals level?

    What software and standard is the training based on?

    The training is built around Oracle Primavera P6, the enterprise project portfolio management (EPPM) software from Oracle Corporation and the global standard for capital-project scheduling. It covers both the P6 Professional client and P6 EPPM features.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the course?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live Primavera P6 exercises throughout. You follow along in P6 as the trainer demonstrates each workflow, using realistic construction, engineering and capital-project scenarios to build real proficiency.
