    What Is Oracle Primavera P6 and Who Should Learn It?Your Route into Project Controls

    Oracle Primavera P6 Training is a practical, instructor-led program that teaches you to plan, schedule, and control complex projects using Primavera P6, the enterprise project portfolio management software developed by Oracle Corporation. P6 is the scheduling standard on large capital projects across construction, engineering, oil and gas, utilities, and infrastructure, where its schedules are often a contractual requirement. The training runs at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days) covers the P6 enterprise structure, activity creation, relationships, scheduling and the critical path, resource assignment, baselines, and progress tracking. Advanced (3 days) adds resource and cost loading, earned value management, schedule comparison with Claim Digger, multi-project programs, and custom reporting. Every module is taught with hands-on P6 exercises built on realistic project scenarios. This is a skills-focused course. You build proficiency you can apply the next day and receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. It suits planners, schedulers, project engineers, project controls professionals, and project managers ready to move from spreadsheets and Microsoft Project to the industry-standard P6.

    Do I need to buy Primavera P6 software separately?

    Primavera P6 is a separate Oracle product, and you should have access to it for the exercises. Please confirm with Invensis Learning whether a training environment is provided or whether you arrange your own P6 access. Ask a learning advisor for details.

    Are payment or installment options available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfers, and installment options are available on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you, or request a quote to see current pricing.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Is the training hands-on or theory-based?

    It is highly hands-on. The trainer demonstrates each P6 feature while you follow along in the software, then you practice on realistic construction and engineering scenarios, so you build genuine proficiency rather than just watching.

    Do I need prior Primavera P6 experience?

    For Fundamentals, no. It is designed for people new to Primavera P6, though basic project management familiarity helps. For Advanced, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience.

    Enrollment

    How do I enroll in the Primavera P6 course?

    You can enroll through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your level and preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware, and learning resources. A learning advisor can help you pick the right option.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer online (live virtual) instructor-led training, classroom sessions, onsite delivery, and customized corporate group training. This lets you choose the format that fits your schedule, whether you learn as an individual or with a team.

    Can I train my whole team together?

    Yes. Corporate group training lets you upskill a planning team, PMO, or project controls department together on one consistent P6 approach, with schedules and examples tailored to your organization. Ask about corporate and group pricing.

    How soon can I start?

    New public batches run regularly in live virtual and classroom formats, and corporate sessions are scheduled around your team's availability. Check upcoming schedules or talk to a learning advisor to find the next start date that works for you.

    Can I reschedule my enrollment to another batch?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or move to another batch on selected plans. Contact our support team to arrange this and confirm the terms that apply to your enrollment.

    Levels And Prerequisites

    Should I take Fundamentals or Advanced?

    Take Fundamentals if you are new to Primavera P6 or use it only occasionally and want a solid foundation. Take Advanced if you already use P6 regularly and want to master resource and cost loading, earned value, and multi-project control. Both can be taken in sequence.

    What are the prerequisites for Fundamentals?

    There are none. Fundamentals is designed for people new to Primavera P6. Familiarity with basic project ideas like activities, dependencies, and resources is helpful but not required, and the training builds everything from the ground up.

    What are the prerequisites for Advanced?

    You should have completed the Primavera P6 Fundamentals course or have equivalent hands-on experience using P6. Advanced moves quickly into cost loading, earned value, and enterprise features, so a working foundation in core P6 scheduling is expected.

    What will I be able to do after Fundamentals?

    You will be able to set up a project in P6, build and schedule an activity network, read the critical path and float, assign resources, set a baseline, update progress, and produce basic layouts and reports for a real project.

    What will I be able to do after Advanced?

    You will be able to fully resource and cost load a schedule, calculate and report earned value, compare schedules with Claim Digger, manage multiple projects with cross-project links, and build custom reports and dashboards for project controls.
