Requirements

To succeed in this course, participants should possess a foundational understanding of project management principles, including activities, scheduling, and resource planning. While prior experience with other project management software is beneficial, it is not a prerequisite. Familiarity with general engineering or project workflows is also advantageous. No previous exposure to Primavera P6 is required, as the training starts from the basics and gradually advances to complex topics.
