Benefits…

Enrolling in this Oracle Primavera P6 Fundamentals course will help you (in the most relaxed and helpful environment) understand the basic features and functions of Primavera P6 Professional, also includes extra additional more advanced functionality, so that you can apply them to your organisation’s project management processes. Key features are learning how to manage projects to complete them on time and within budget, and within your organisation’s resource capacity.

Explore Project Management Fundamentals…

All workshops and instruction stress the three basic elements of project management – scheduling, resources and costs.
At the end of each day is a fun, interactive, revision quiz where the delegates will be spilt into teams.
