It is offered at Fundamentals and Advanced levels and builds practical project controls skills, with no exam to sit.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 training?

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule and control projects using Oracle Primavera P6, the enterprise scheduling application from Oracle Corporation. It is offered at Fundamentals and Advanced levels and builds practical project controls skills, with no exam to sit.

    Who should take this Primavera P6 course in Ireland?

    The course suits project planners, schedulers, project controls engineers and project managers who plan complex projects. It is especially relevant for professionals in Ireland's data centre, pharma, energy and construction sectors, where P6 is the standard scheduling tool.

    Do I need prior experience to learn P6?

    No prior experience is needed for the Fundamentals level, which is designed for new or occasional P6 users. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on Primavera P6 experience.

    Is Primavera P6 worth learning in Ireland?

    Yes. P6 skills are in strong demand across Ireland's data centre, pharma and infrastructure projects, where planners and controls engineers are scarce. Project controls engineers in Ireland average around €77,000 a year, reflecting how valued these skills are.

    What are the two levels of the course?

    The course runs at two levels. Fundamentals is a 2-day, 16-hour programme covering core scheduling, and Advanced is a 3-day, 24-hour programme covering cost loading, earned value, multi-project management and reporting. You can take either level independently or both in sequence.

    Pricing

    How much does Primavera P6 training cost in Ireland?

    Pricing varies by level, delivery format and group size, so fees are available on request. Contact a learning advisor for current pricing on Fundamentals, Advanced or a combined pathway, or request a quote for your team.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes live instructor-led sessions, hands-on P6 exercises, structured courseware, realistic project scenarios, learner support and a course completion certificate. Confirm the exact inclusions for your chosen format when you enrol.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for planning teams, PMOs and project controls functions. Contact us for a tailored quote for your organisation.

    Do I need my own Primavera P6 software?

    Participants are expected to have access to Oracle Primavera P6 during the training. Check with our team whether a training environment or trial database is provided for your session, or whether you should arrange your own P6 access.

    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.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course, so there is no exam at either level. Your learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Primavera P6 exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    Will I receive a certificate?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning confirming you attended and completed the training. It is a record of completion rather than a certification exam, and the practical skills apply immediately at work.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you build proficiency through guided, hands-on P6 exercises based on realistic construction and capital project scenarios, so you practise each feature as the trainer demonstrates it.

    What will I be able to do after the Fundamentals level?

    After Fundamentals you can navigate P6, build an activity schedule with relationships and calendars, run the scheduler, read the critical path and float, assign resources, set a baseline, update progress and produce basic reports.

    What will I be able to do after the Advanced level?

    After Advanced you can cost-load and resource-load schedules, calculate earned value, compare schedules with Claim Digger, manage multiple projects with cross-project relationships, and build custom layouts and reports.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Primavera P6 course cover?

    Fundamentals covers the enterprise project structure, WBS, activities, relationships, scheduling, resources, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced covers advanced scheduling, resource and cost loading, earned value, multi-project management and custom reporting.

    Which version of Primavera P6 is used?

    The training uses Oracle Primavera P6, delivered as P6 Professional or P6 EPPM depending on the session. Confirm the exact software environment for your booking when you enrol, so you can prepare your access in advance.

    Are the sessions hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are built around live, hands-on P6 exercises. You follow along in the software as the trainer demonstrates each workflow, using realistic project scenarios so the skills transfer directly to your own work.

    Does the course cover earned value and cost management?

    Yes, at the Advanced level. You learn to cost-load activities with cost accounts, generate the S-curve, and calculate earned value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI to forecast cost and schedule outcomes.

    What learning materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware, hands-on exercises and reference guides that support step-by-step learning. Materials follow the Fundamentals or Advanced curriculum so you can revisit each workflow after the training.

    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 need help choosing a level.

    How soon can I start the training?

    New sessions run regularly across both levels. View the upcoming schedules on our website or speak with a learning advisor to find the next available Fundamentals or Advanced dates that suit you.
