Oracle Primavera (P6)

Effective project delivery in today’s complex engineering and construction environment depends on robust planning, realistic scheduling, and disciplined project control. Oracle Primavera P6 is a globally recognised project planning and scheduling platform used on major construction, infrastructure, oil & gas, and public-sector programmes.

This course is delivered by Samprec Academy, the training and capacity-development arm of Samprec Consultants Ltd, a firm with strong engineering, construction, and project management practice. The training goes beyond software operation to emphasise that Primavera P6 is only as effective as the competence of the planner using it.

Participants will be trained to combine sound planning principles, industry best practices, and Primavera P6 functionality to develop reliable, defensible, and management-ready project schedules. Real-life project scenarios and construction-driven case studies are used throughout the course to ensure direct workplace application.
