    The Primavera P6 Skills You Will BuildHands-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.

    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, the enterprise scheduling application from Oracle Corporation.

    Are payment or instalment options available?

    Yes, selected plans offer flexible payment options. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that best suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment

    How is my learning assessed on the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Learning is reinforced through hands-on Primavera P6 exercises on realistic project scenarios throughout each level, so you build genuine proficiency by practising every feature and workflow as you go.

    What do I receive after completing the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing each level. This confirms you have completed the Fundamentals or Advanced Primavera P6 training and built the practical skills it covers.

    Does the course lead to a formal qualification?

    No. This is a practical, non-certification skills course, so there is no exam and no external credential. It focuses on building real, job-ready P6 capability, and you receive a completion record from Invensis Learning.

    Are Primavera P6 skills recognised by Swiss employers?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is the industry-standard scheduling tool on capital projects, and hands-on P6 proficiency is a recognised, valued skill for planners and project controls professionals across Swiss rail, energy, pharma and construction employers.

    Do I need to renew anything after the training?

    No. There is no renewal, no continuing-education cycle and nothing to maintain. The P6 skills you learn are immediately applicable and do not expire, so you can keep applying them on your projects.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Primavera P6 course cover?

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

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level has no formal prerequisites and is designed for people new to Primavera P6. Familiarity with basic project concepts such as activities and dependencies is helpful but not required.

    What are the prerequisites for the Advanced level?

    You should have completed the Fundamentals level or have equivalent hands-on Primavera P6 experience before attending Advanced, as it builds directly on core scheduling skills such as relationships, the critical path and baselines.

    How long is each level of the course?

    Fundamentals runs over 2 days (16 hours in total) and Advanced over 3 days (24 hours in total). Both are available as full-day or extended half-day formats, so you can fit the training around your schedule.

    Are the exercises hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live Primavera P6 exercises. You follow along in P6 as the trainer demonstrates each feature, building schedules on realistic construction, engineering and capital-project scenarios.
