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

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load, cost-load and control projects in Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise scheduling software. It suits project planners, schedulers, project engineers, project managers, cost engineers and project controls professionals in capital-intensive industries.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 training and who is it for?

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load, cost-load and control projects in Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise scheduling software. It suits project planners, schedulers, project engineers, project managers, cost engineers and project controls professionals in capital-intensive industries.

    Is Primavera P6 worth learning in Jamaica?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is the standard scheduling tool on Jamaica's major construction, roadworks, energy and bauxite projects, and it is often a contractual requirement. Skilled P6 planners are scarce relative to demand, so the capability is a strong differentiator for planning and project controls roles.

    What levels of Primavera P6 training are available?

    Training is offered at two levels. Fundamentals is a 2-day, 16-hour programme for new or occasional users. Advanced is a 3-day, 24-hour programme for experienced users covering resource and cost loading, Earned Value Management, multi-project control and custom reporting. You can attend either level or both in sequence.

    Do I need prior experience to take this course?

    No prior experience is needed for the Fundamentals level, though basic familiarity with project concepts helps. For the Advanced level, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience.

    What software developer is behind Primavera P6?

    Primavera P6 is developed by Oracle Corporation. It has been the global standard for complex project scheduling since the 1990s and is available as P6 Professional, P6 EPPM and P6 Team Member editions.

    Pricing

    How much does Oracle Primavera P6 training cost in Jamaica?

    Pricing varies by level, delivery mode and group size, so the exact fee is available on request. Contact us for a current quote for individual or group training, and ask a learning advisor about the best option for you.

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on P6 exercises, downloadable reference materials, learner support and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to confirm what is included in your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for planning teams, project offices and PMOs. Ask about corporate and group pricing for a quote built around your team.

    Do I need my own Primavera P6 software to attend?

    Participants are expected to have access to Oracle Primavera P6 during the training, as P6 is a separate commercial product from Oracle. Please confirm software access and any training-environment options with our team before your session.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Oracle Primavera P6 training?

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

    Do I receive anything on completion?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after completing the programme. The training builds practical P6 skills that are immediately applicable and do not expire.

    How is learning reinforced during the course?

    Every module is taught with live P6 exercises. You follow along as the trainer demonstrates each feature, then practise on realistic construction and capital-project scenarios to build genuine proficiency.

    Will I be able to use P6 at work straight away?

    Yes. The course is designed for immediate workplace application. After Fundamentals you can build and update a project schedule, and after Advanced you can cost-load, report Earned Value and manage multiple projects in P6.

    Is this course vendor-neutral or product-specific?

    It is product-specific to Oracle Primavera P6, taught with hands-on exercises in the software itself, while grounding you in the underlying methods such as the Critical Path Method and Earned Value Management that P6 applies.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers the P6 interface and enterprise project structure (EPS, OBS, WBS), activity creation and types, calendars, relationships, running the scheduler, critical path and float, resource assignment, baselines, progress updating and basic reports.

    What does the Advanced level add?

    Advanced adds advanced scheduling options, resource and cost loading, cost accounts and resource curves, Earned Value Management, baseline management and Claim Digger, multi-project and portfolio management, custom reporting and Excel integration.

    Are the exercises based on real projects?

    Yes. Both levels use realistic construction, engineering and capital-project scenarios so you build proficiency through practice. In corporate delivery, exercises can be tailored to your own sector and project data.

    Will I learn Earned Value Management in P6?

    Yes, at the Advanced level. You learn to cost-load a schedule and calculate and interpret Earned Value metrics including BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI, CPI, EAC and TCPI directly in Primavera P6 for performance reporting.

    How long is each level and how many hours is it?

    Fundamentals runs for 2 days totalling 16 hours, and Advanced runs for 3 days totalling 24 hours. Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats depending on the schedule.
