Plan Academy’s Online Primavera P6 Training was without a doubt the best I could find!

In my search to sharpen my scheduling methods and learn new techniques, I happened upon Plan Academy’s Primavera P6 online training program. Not only am I keeping pace with the industry, I’m learning how to maximize my use of the Primavera P6 software for scheduling, resourcing and reporting… not to mention time saving shortcuts.

I am very happy to have found Plan Academy!

Brandon Hampton was confused and frustrated when he first started using Primavera P6.

But, as a Planner and Consultant, he enjoyed how Plan Academy’s training courses were “self-paced, comprehensive and easy to follow”.

But after taking Plan Academy’s Primavera P6 Foundations course, he had this to say:

“Not only do I feel like it’s made me a better project scheduler, but now I truly feel like I have a solid understanding of P6 and its main core functions.”

Colum is an Engineer and Project Director working for a large multi-national construction company on projects in the Middle-East. He has worked as an Engineer for 20 years in the construction industry and has held many roles during his career including Head of Engineering, and Project Director.

Colum had recently been hired on as Project Director for large construction company. Colum had no choice but to get up to speed quickly with Primavera P6. Colum’s employer had picked him to manage 33 key construction projects and Primavera P6 was their enterprise project management system. He had dabbled in Primavera P6 prior, but he needed training quickly to be successful and to help the company continue their momentum forward.

Colum had tried a few sessions with a virtual Primavera P6 training company, but he found that with short sessions the training didn’t seem to last.

Colum joined as a member of Plan Academy and started using the self-paced videos and best practices to help him develop a project controls strategy in his new role.

Colum took full advantage of Plan Academy’s ongoing Support, asking lots of support questions on Primavera P6. He quickly became THE most active member of our Community Forums, while getting help with advanced topics like Earned Value, Microsoft Project conversions and graphing curves.

 “I was getting great value and great help. I had to renew my membership for a second year.”

Colum’s portfolio of projects are moving along successfully. He has implemented stronger project controls processes that have helped him and his company be more effective in managing projects with Primavera P6. As a result of our support, Colum has also developed a process for importing contractor schedules that helps him identify trouble spots quickly.

“Plan Academy’s online Primavera P6 training is very well layed-out. The great thing is that it’s easy to get started. Someone with no Primavera P6 experience can pick up skills quite quickly. And I found it valuable to have support – when I asked a question, I got an answer pretty quick.”

I needed P6 training for a team of planning engineers, civil & project engineers. I tried Plan Academy and was immediately impressed by the training & the value.

Plan Academy’s Primavera P6 training helped me reach my career goal! I passed my interview and got a job as a scheduler with a great company!

The trainers at Plan Academy have a knack for explaining scheduling concepts in plain english.

Being one of our earlier customers, Plan Academy was a resource used by Dustan to learn how to schedule properly with Primavera P6 from our quality articles.

Having only been exposed to manufacturing scheduling and Microsoft Project briefly in university I had to bring myself up to speed with oil & gas construction scheduling with P6 in a short amount of time. Definitely saved me time and money as it made me more efficient in my task…

“I have better idea of the power of P6 and its capabilities. I just didn’t know how powerful P6 was nor how to use it.”

Dwight Markham, a project manager at a large E&C firm, was influenced by an industry scheduling challenge, and looked for a solution– that was to discover the best way to track schedules and progress of projects within a large firm.

After joining Plan Academy, our courses provided Dwight with confirmation that Primavera P6 functions were not being utilized to its full capability in the development of projects.

“…our project schedules were no better than horizontal bar charts. Schedules were not being resource loaded properly, properly progressed and tracked and therefore yielded little information of value.” 

The result from implementing our content was not only extensive Primavera P6 knowledge but also the ability to enhance productivity with real time project projections that in turn increase efficient project decisions.

Plan Academy provides a way to grow your project management knowledge and capabilities. It’s a wonderful resource!

Plan Academy is worth every penny!

Having 25+ years on the other side of the monitor building schedules as Craft and Project Superintendent I made a move to become a scheduler.

I took a 1 week course and dove right in. Even with the mentoring my company provided it didn’t take long to realize I needed more training beyond the basic 1 week course. I tried You-Tube for my immediate questions but sadly it fell short.

I found Plan Academy and am happy to say that it filled the gap.

I highly recommend Plan Academy as the tutorials and webinars are very informative and helpful as well as the staff. Worth every dime.

I’ve picked up more useful knowledge from Plan Academy’s tutorials and courses than anywhere else.

Michael is a natural teacher, and that is a rare find these days.

I have learned more from Plan Academy’s training in my first 2 weeks than I did in 10 years of self-teaching myself P6.

I spent literally hours trying to figure out my Primavera P6 issues. But Plan Academy Support was quick to uncover my problem and help me resolve it. I should have asked for help sooner. Plan Academy’s Support is excellent!

Plan Academy’s Training helped Luis learn best practices for overall scheduling – a MAJOR help.

“Plan Academy helped me solidify my position at work. The training helped me increase my skill level using P6 and allowed me to more accurately communicate via P6 current and forecasted statuses of our projects. I have definitely saved time in my scheduling efforts here at work, along with giving me an edge for submitting to, and winning bid work.”

After browsing through the site, I just wanted to say planacademy.com is an awesome website! Keep up the good work!

I just received the Certificate today. Thank you! Your website, course work, tutorials and so on are invaluable! They are great and have shed light on many things I did not know before and also helped to clarify or reconfirm things I already knew but did not fully understand.

Plan Academy is a great tool and I have gotten so much out of it!

I was thrown into the frying pan on my project. Plan Academy was invaluable to me getting up to speed fast on Primavera P6 Professional.

I highly recommend Plan Academy to all present and future planners! A great source for learning Primavera!

Special thanks to Michael Lepage – a value I have received during our consulting session guided me to the successful completion of a very difficult task!

Shamsaddin’s interview went smoothly – thanks in part to Plan Academy!

Shamsaddin found a job with a large oil company only 3 months after joining Plan Academy’s Online Training. During his interview, he recalled some important concepts he had learned during our Primavera P6 training.

“I answered 5 of the 30 interview questions describing scheduling concepts I had learned from the Plan Academy Primavera P6 video lessons. I passed the interview and am now working as a Site Scheduler. ”

There’s nothing else on the market that has so much Primavera P6 content.
