Primavera P6 for Project Planners and Schedulers

Large capital projects across Africa increasingly demand schedules built in Primavera P6, yet many planners learn the tool in fragments on the job. This course builds practical fluency from a blank project through resource loaded baselines and progress updates. Delegates work on realistic infrastructure and plant examples so the skills transfer straight back to the office.
