    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load and control projects using Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise scheduling software. It runs at Fundamentals and Advanced levels and builds real project controls skills you apply at work.

    General

    What is Oracle Primavera P6 training?

    Oracle Primavera P6 training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource-load and control projects using Primavera P6, Oracle's enterprise scheduling software. It runs at Fundamentals and Advanced levels and builds real project controls skills you apply at work.

    Who should take this Primavera P6 course?

    It suits project planners, schedulers, project controls engineers, project managers and PMO professionals in construction, rail, energy and engineering. Fundamentals is ideal if you are new to P6; Advanced suits experienced users wanting resource loading, earned value and multi-project skills.

    Is Primavera P6 worth learning in Portugal?

    Yes. Primavera P6 is specified by name on most large construction, rail and energy contracts in Portugal, and skilled P6 planners are scarce. Recovery-plan funding and the Lisbon to Porto high-speed rail line are driving strong demand for planning and project controls skills.

    Do I need prior experience to start?

    No prior P6 experience is needed for Fundamentals; basic familiarity with project concepts helps. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience.

    What is the difference between Fundamentals and Advanced?

    Fundamentals (2 days) covers the P6 enterprise structure, activities, relationships, scheduling, resources and baselines. Advanced (3 days) covers resource and cost loading, earned value management, Claim Digger, multi-project control and custom reporting. You can take either alone or in sequence.

    Which industries use Primavera P6 most?

    Primavera P6 is the standard in construction, civil engineering, rail and transport, oil and gas, energy and utilities, mining, aerospace and defence. In Portugal it is widely used across infrastructure, energy and EPC contracting.

    Pricing

    How much does Primavera P6 training cost in Portugal?

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on P6 exercises, practice scenarios, learner support and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Confirm exact inclusions for your chosen format when you enrol.

    Do I need to buy Primavera P6 software separately?

    Oracle Primavera P6 is a separate commercial product from Oracle Corporation. You should have P6 installed and accessible for the exercises. Ask Invensis Learning whether a training environment is provided or whether you arrange your own P6 access.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

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

    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.

    Is there a preferential rate for taking both levels?

    Fundamentals and Advanced can be booked together, and combined or corporate bookings may qualify for preferential pricing. Ask about bundled and team rates when you request a quote.

    Assessment

    Do I have to sit a test to complete the training?

    No. This is a practical skills course with no test at either level. You build proficiency through hands-on Primavera P6 exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    What do I receive when I finish?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning confirming the Primavera P6 training you completed. The skills are immediately applicable to planning and project controls work and do not expire.

    How is my progress assessed during the course?

    There is no formal grading. You learn by working in P6 alongside the trainer and completing practical exercises for each feature and workflow, from scheduling and baselining to resource loading and earned value.

    Will I be able to use P6 confidently afterwards?

    Yes. After Fundamentals you can build, schedule, resource and baseline a project and track progress. After Advanced you can cost-load, calculate earned value, run schedule quality checks and manage multiple projects.

    How long does each level take?

    Fundamentals runs over 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced over 3 days (24 hours), available as full-day or extended half-day formats. Verify current scheduling options when you enrol.

    Is prior Primavera P6 experience required?

    Not for Fundamentals, which starts from the basics. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on P6 experience.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Primavera P6 course cover?

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

    What will I learn at Fundamentals level?

    You will navigate P6, build the EPS, OBS and WBS, create activities and relationships, run the scheduler, read the critical path and float, assign resources, set baselines and update progress with Physical % Complete and actual dates.

    What does the Advanced level add?

    Advanced adds resource and cost loading with cost accounts and S-curves, earned value metrics (SPI, CPI, EAC, TCPI), DCMA-style schedule quality checks, Claim Digger comparison, multi-project scheduling and custom layouts, filters and reports.

    Is the training hands-on?

    Yes. You work in Primavera P6 throughout, following the trainer through each feature and completing practical exercises using realistic construction, rail and engineering project scenarios, so you build genuine software proficiency.

    Does the course cover earned value management?

    Yes, at Advanced level. You calculate and interpret BCWS, BCWP and ACWP with SPI, CPI, EAC and TCPI, and produce earned value S-curves and reports for contract and executive performance reviews.
