    Skills You Will Build in Primavera P6Hands-On P6 Capability, Fundamentals to Advanced

    In this Primavera P6 training you will learn to plan, schedule, resource-load, cost-load and control projects using Oracle Primavera P6, the enterprise scheduling standard. The Fundamentals level builds a confident scheduling foundation, and the Advanced level extends it to cost loading, earned value, Claim Digger and multi-project management.

    Build the Enterprise Project Structure

    Set up the EPS, OBS and WBS, create and configure a project, and navigate the P6 interface, so every project is organised the way capital-project teams expect.

    Create and Schedule Activities

    Add activities and activity types, link them with Finish-to-Start and other relationships, apply calendars and lag, run the scheduler (F9), and interpret the critical path and total float.

    Assign Resources and Roles

    Build the resource dictionary, assign labour, equipment and material resources to activities, and spot over-allocation before the baseline is set.

    Baseline and Track Progress

    Set the project baseline, advance the data date, record progress with physical percent complete and actual dates, and read start and finish variance against the plan.

    Resource-Load and Cost-Load Schedules

    Load budgeted units and costs, work with cost accounts and the cost breakdown structure, apply resource curves, and generate the project S-curve for finance and progress reporting.

    Apply Earned Value Management

    Calculate and report BCWS, BCWP and ACWP, work with SPI, CPI, EAC and TCPI, and produce the earned value S-curve that contract reporting on major projects requires.

    Compare Baselines with Claim Digger

    Manage multiple baselines, use Claim Digger to document every schedule change, and write the variance narrative used in NEC, FIDIC and standard forms of contract.

    Manage Multi-Project Portfolios and Reports

    Schedule multiple projects with cross-project links, use enterprise resource management, build custom layouts and filters, and export P6 data to Excel for dashboards.

It is offered at Fundamentals level (2 days) for new users and Advanced level (3 days) for experienced planners.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 training?

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to use Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise scheduling software, to plan, schedule, resource-load and control projects. It is offered at Fundamentals level (2 days) for new users and Advanced level (3 days) for experienced planners.

    Who should take Primavera P6 training?

    It suits project planners, schedulers, project engineers, project controls engineers, project managers and PMO professionals, especially in construction, nuclear, energy, rail, aerospace and defence. Anyone responsible for planning or controlling projects in France where P6 is the required tool will benefit.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Take Fundamentals if you are new to P6 or use it occasionally and want a solid scheduling foundation. Take Advanced if you already use P6 regularly and want to master cost loading, earned value, Claim Digger, multi-project management and custom reporting. Both can be taken independently or in sequence.

    Is Primavera P6 worth learning in France?

    Yes. P6 is specified by name on most French EPC and infrastructure contracts and underpins programmes like EPR2, Grand Paris Express and Lyon-Turin. Planners and project controls professionals who can drive P6 are in demand and well paid, with senior project controls roles reaching around 82,000 euros.

    Is Primavera P6 recognised across industry?

    Yes. Primavera P6, developed by Oracle Corporation, has been the global standard for complex project scheduling since the 1990s. It is used across construction, oil and gas, utilities, nuclear, rail, aerospace and defence, so P6 skills transfer easily between sectors and employers.

    Pricing

    How much does Primavera P6 training cost in France?

    Pricing depends on the level (Fundamentals or Advanced), the delivery mode and group size, so fees are available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote in euros for individual enrolment or for a corporate group. Note that the Oracle Primavera P6 software licence is a separate Oracle product.

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, hands-on P6 exercises, structured courseware, practical case studies and templates, learner support, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to see exactly what your chosen format includes.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for planning teams, project controls functions and PMOs. Ask about corporate or group pricing and we will prepare a quote for your team.

    Do I need to buy Primavera P6 software separately?

    Primavera P6 is a commercial product from Oracle Corporation and is licensed separately from the training. You should have P6 (P6 Professional or P6 EPPM) installed and accessible for the exercises. Check with us whether a training environment is provided for your session.

    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 and to request a quote.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Primavera P6 training?

    No. This is a practical, non-certification skills course, so there is no examination at either the Fundamentals or Advanced level. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on P6 exercises on realistic project scenarios throughout each programme.

    Do I receive anything after completing the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. It confirms the P6 skills you have built; it is not a certification, as this is a software skills course focused on practical capability rather than a credential.

    How is learning measured during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you follow along in Primavera P6 as the trainer demonstrates each feature, then complete hands-on exercises using realistic construction, engineering or capital-project scenarios, so you build proficiency by doing the work yourself.

    Are there prerequisites for the Advanced level?

    For Fundamentals there are no prerequisites, though basic project management familiarity helps. For Advanced, you should have completed the Fundamentals course or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience, as it builds directly on core scheduling skills.

    Will the training help me on real projects straight away?

    Yes. The skills are immediately applicable and do not expire. Because the exercises mirror real capital-project scheduling, you can apply P6 planning, resource loading, cost loading and earned value on your own projects the next working day.

    Course Content

    What topics does Primavera P6 training cover?

    Fundamentals covers the enterprise project structure, activity creation, relationships, scheduling, resource assignment, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced adds advanced scheduling, resource and cost loading, earned value, baseline comparison with Claim Digger, multi-project management and custom reporting.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is designed for people who are new to Primavera P6 or use it only occasionally. No formal prerequisites are required, and each feature is demonstrated live before you practise it, so beginners build confidence step by step.

    How long is each level of the training?

    Fundamentals runs for 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced runs for 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day sessions or as extended half-day formats. Ask about current scheduling options for your preferred level.

    Is the training hands-on or theory-based?

    It is hands-on throughout. You work directly in Primavera P6 alongside the trainer, completing live exercises for each workflow, from building the schedule to earned value reporting, so you gain real software proficiency rather than just theory.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware covering each module, practical exercises and realistic project scenarios, plus reference guides and templates to support your learning. These help you revise the workflows and apply them to your own projects after the course.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in the Primavera P6 course?

    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. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing the right level.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, in-person classroom training, and customised corporate onsite training. Choose the format that fits your schedule and, for teams, the format that best suits your project deadlines.

    How soon can I start?

    New public batches for both levels run regularly, and corporate sessions can be scheduled around your team's availability. View upcoming schedules or speak with a learning advisor to find the next convenient start date in your time zone.

    Can I reschedule or transfer my booking?

    Yes. Flexi options let you reschedule or move to another batch, and selected plans let you attend the training twice. Contact support and we will help you arrange a date that works for you.

    What is the refund or cancellation policy?

    Refunds and cancellations are handled under our published policy, and selected plans include a money-back option. Reach out to our team for the details that apply to your enrolment before you book.
