Students have been asking me for years for an Advanced course on Primavera P6, and now I'm delivering!

Contractors are tasked with crafting more and more complex schedules. There is nothing intuitive about this - it takes experience, skill and knowledge to understand what goes into a robust schedule.

I've tried to my best to make this course one that reflects today's REAL WORLD scheduling needs. That's why I've got drawings, an estimate, bid documents and even report templates from which we can build a real schedule.

Join me and learn what it takes to master Advanced Schedule Building in Primavera P6.

--Michael

Terrific course. Michael is an engaging instructor who creates an atmosphere where students feel comfortable contributing. The virtual format allows us to review video of the class later on, and the PlanAcademy forum is a handy tool for getting clarification on problems related to both the classroom and real-world. These are real advantages over a traditional classroom approach.

This course was carefully put together and delivered in a clear and concise manner. Michael Lepage has extensive knowledge of planning/scheduling, project controls as well as Primavera. He demonstrated an ability to explain/teach and show patients when required. He is clearly very passionate about these courses and teaching others all he can. Many thanks...

This is a very informative and practical class. Unlike a lot of dumb Oracle classes where all you learn is what a button does... this class actually provides its "real world" application providing you with a truer feeling of, "Ohhh... I get it now." The best thing about this class for those taking it in the future, is that it will seriously only improve for the better. There were a lot of lessons learned by plan academy as well as its students because it was the first time being offered. There were a lot of very knowledgeable students in my class and I felt everyone was getting something out of it.

This is the only course like this and I was very pleased. This course takes over where all other training (I have seen) drops off. It help schedulers with real life scenarios. The instructor does a great job of keeping everyone engaged and will stop to help anyone, with anything, they may be struggling with. He wants the class to feel comfortable and relaxed, but most of all he wants us to be successful schedulers.I strongly encourage people that are doing P6 schedules on a regular basis to take this course.5 stars all day..... everyday!
