Primavera P6 Essentials Training

This course provides students with the information necessary to plan, execute, control, and close a project in Primavera P6 Professional, containing a resource and cost loaded schedule, and utilizing best practices.

At the end of the training class, each student will be given access to our Self-Paced Planning and Managing Projects in Primavera P6 Professional; including the 490+ micro-videos, training lab, and manual for 30 days. This will increase student's retention of material, allow them to practice techniques, and answer any questions they come across.

** Starting in September 2021, we will be offering a mixed training session, combining both the classroom and virtual trainings together. This will allow those who attend the virtual training the ability to feel a part of a larger class. This classroom training will be conducted at our offices 7250 Dallas Parkway Suite 400, Plano, TX 75024. Location information will be sent once you have booked your classroom attendance below.
