Primavera Training

Primavera Training

Plan Better. Track Smarter. Deliver Faster.

Project delays rarely happen overnight they begin with weak schedules, poor baseline development, and inadequate progress tracking. Oracle Primavera P6 is the industry standard for scheduling on large EPC and infrastructure projects, yet many teams fail to use it to its full potential. The result is unreliable schedules, missed milestones, and reactive project management.

We provide specialized Primavera P6 Training for EPC and project-driven organizations across the globe. Backed by over 25 years of industry experience, our programs are designed around real scheduling challenges faced on major projects. Each course builds the core scheduling competencies of planning engineers, project controls professionals, and project managers from foundational P6 navigation to advanced scheduling and reporting techniques.

Our ultimate goal is to build a capable, confident scheduling function within your organization. We do this by designing and delivering customized Primavera training programs aligned with best international practices, ensuring participants gain hands-on, practical skills to create reliable schedules, track progress accurately, and support effective project control.

Over the past years, we have successfully conducted Primavera training programs across all levels from introductory courses for new users to advanced workshops for experienced schedulers. Our clients include leading EPC contractors, infrastructure developers, project owners, and engineering organizations worldwide.

Why Primavera P6 Is the Industry Standard for EPC Project Scheduling

In large EPC and infrastructure projects, a schedule is not just a document. It is the primary decision-making tool that tells you whether you are on track, where you are behind, and what needs to change today to protect next month’s milestone.
Oracle Primavera P6 is the world’s leading project planning and scheduling software, used across EPC, oil and gas, power, infrastructure, and construction sectors globally.
Yet in most organisations, P6 is severely underutilised. Schedules lack proper WBS. Baselines go unused. Resource loading is skipped. Progress updates are inconsistent.
RKS Trainings Primavera P6 training closes that gap for EPC and infrastructure professionals.

Who Should Attend?

This training is designed for professionals across the project delivery chain who need practical, applied competence in project scheduling and control.

Planning Engineers:

building and maintaining EPC and infrastructure project schedules, developing logically sound, contractually compliant schedules that genuinely support project control.

Project Control Engineers:

move beyond basic progress updates into meaningful variance analysis and corrective action reporting.

Project Managers and Deputy Project Managers:

gain the confidence to interrogate a P6 schedule, identify warning signs early, and make informed decisions.

Scheduling Engineers:

learn to link engineering, procurement, and construction workstreams into a single integrated master schedule.

Civil and Mechanical Engineers:

transitioning into planning roles can join at the Foundation level with no prior P6 experience required.

PMO Professionals, Contract Managers, and Site Teams:

develop a common scheduling language that improves coordination and makes schedule-based conversations more productive across the project.

Programme Curriculum

The Primavera P6 training runs across three progressive levels: Foundation, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level can be delivered standalone or as part of a continuous programme. All sessions are hands-on, with every concept immediately applied in P6 using real EPC and infrastructure project case studies.

Level 1: Foundation

Covers the P6 interface, Enterprise Project Structure, project creation with correct defaults, calendars, and Organisational Breakdown Structure. Participants then build a multi-level WBS aligned with scope and contract deliverables using phase-based, discipline-based, and area-based EPC approaches. Activity creation, the four relationship types, lags, leads, and activity codes follow. The level closes with Critical Path Method covering forward and backward pass, float calculation, Total Float vs Free Float, and how logic gaps affect schedule quality. Exercise: Build a complete EPC schedule with WBS, activities, and logic.

Level 2: Intermediate

Covers resource types, resource dictionary creation, and building a resource-loaded schedule with histograms, S-curves, and resource levelling. Cost loading connects schedules to cost breakdown structures and generates cash flow S-curves. Baseline management covers creation, assignment, variance analysis, and managing original, target, and current baselines. Progress updating covers data date, actual start and finish, remaining duration, percentage complete, and float consumption analysis. Exercise: Set a baseline, perform a full progress update, and create a status report.

Level 3: Advanced

Covers Earned Value Management including SPI, CPI, EAC, ETC, and TCPI, with EVM S-curves and reforecasting. Advanced schedule analysis covers delay methods including Impacted As-Planned, Time Impact Analysis, and Windows Analysis, plus EOT claim support and schedule compression techniques. Reporting covers Gantt charts, logic diagrams, management dashboards, and EPC S-curves. The level closes with multi-project and portfolio management across a shared EPS. Exercise: Build a complete dashboard and monthly progress report.

The RKS Approach to Primavera P6 Training

01

EPC-Specific, Not Generic Software Training:

Most P6 courses teach software navigation. RKS Trainings teaches you to use P6 for EPC and infrastructure project planning. Every case study, exercise, and example is drawn from power plants, oil and gas facilities, industrial projects, and civil infrastructure.

02

Hands-On From the First Session:

Participants spend the majority of training time inside P6, not watching presentations. By the end of the program, each participant has built a complete, resource-loaded, baseline-tracked EPC project schedule they can reference in their own work.

03

Aligned With Real Contractual Requirements:

In EPC projects, the schedule is a contractual document. Our training covers how P6 schedule development aligns with contractual reporting requirements, baseline submission procedures, and how schedule data supports delay claims and EOT submissions.

04

Taught by an EPC Industry Practitioner:

Rajeev Sharma has managed project planning and scheduling on major EPC projects across India and the Middle East. He understands how scheduling decisions are made under commercial pressure and against contractual deadlines. Training is delivered from that practitioner's perspective, not as a software manual.

Build Schedules That Actually Control Your Project

A Primavera P6 schedule that is built correctly, updated consistently, and analysed effectively is one of the most powerful tools a project team has. It tells you where you are, where you are going, and what needs to change before it is too late.
That is the capability RKS Trainings builds: practical, EPC-specific Primavera P6 proficiency that turns your planning team from schedule maintainers into genuine project control professionals.
