Great course! I am a beginner in P6, no previous experience at all. I am making the switch to scheduling at my current employer. Before switching, they wanted me to complete this course so I could learn about P6. Michael explains everything really well. Read more

I have completed the Foundations course 3 weeks after signing up. The modules were very clear cut and really easy to learn from and the assignments were a very good practice to execute what was shown during the lecture phase of each module. I am planning to take the Advanced P6 Progressing course possibly next month. After taking this course, I got hired for a job as a Turnaround Scheduler. Thanks to you and the people behind Plan Academy!
