Description

Welcome to 'Advanced Project Planning and Scheduling with Primavera P6' online training course. This course is brought to you by CEM Solutions, who are providing construction engineering and management services worldwide for about 10 years. This course is an ultimate solution for the people who want to learn advanced planning & scheduling concepts, together with their implementation on Primavera P6.

This course is uniquely designed to meet the requirements of an advanced-level planning engineer. Emphasis has been given to understanding the core planning concepts, rather than just developing a schedule. A schedule with no planning sense, will not only cause trouble in project controlling, but it’s also a question mark on the integrity of the planning engineer. This course is particularly beneficial for the ‘Engineering & Construction’ industry, but others can also use the concepts to schedule their projects.

This course is based on extensive research, real-world challenges, the experience of industry experts, and exercises based on actual projects. We have also included an extensive practice of using Microsoft Excel together with Primavera P6. This will not only speed up the scheduling process but will also aid in the management and accuracy of schedule data. The course also includes many templates, samples, tools, and other useful resources, which will help you a lot in your projects.

This course is an ultimate solution for the people looking for an advanced level planning & scheduling course. Also, if you have an upcoming interview, use this course to learn the concepts quickly and effectively.

It is indeed an eye opener to me as I am looking forward to become a professional construction project planner. I am eager to learn in details the difference between the scheduler and the planner. Also how the two can be collaborate the two to have a meaningful project schedule. Learning the implementation of earned value and to generate s-curve and project reports

Not sure, until I will complete the course. This is not way of teaching. Bottom of screen, Just like Rail going very fast no pause. How to use, Overview, Q&A, Notes, Announcements , Review, Learning tools. Year 2021, I took 5 courses course. Two courses, I did not attempt. You must have my record, I will try to send the date. How I could review Primavera Professional P6 course and Mastering MS Power point?

CEM Solutions is NOT a PMI Provider and does not come up on the list. WASTE of time and money and cannot claim PDU

Very well structured, with practical explanations and actual practice throughout. The pdf, excel and other references and resources are really valuable!

The course overall is very well prepared, organized, and explained. Someone from scratch would definitely prioritize this course. However, Planning Engineers such as us, at intermediate or advanced levels prefer Excel sheets more than anything. It would have been very supportive and favorable if there were Excel sheets (such as risk register, etc) Thank you for the in-depth explanation.

Bu kurs udemy de karşılaştığım kendi alanında en iyi ve en başarılı kurs. Hiç bir başka kurs kalite olarak 2 level bile yanına yaklaşamaz. Udemy den bu tür içerikleri arttırmasını bekliyorum

It was wonderful and very enlightening. The delivery was topnotch. I recommend the creation of learning chat group in order to address student's questions. Thank You

This is an amazing detail discussion, although the voice used is annoying at first, but if you pay attention, you'll become accustomed to it. All important aspects of Planning are covered in the course outline. It is 100% recommended that you take up this course, even if you don't like it, you can get a full refund within 30 days.

Well detailed for advanced class. Similar course on Monitoring and controlling will be very much needed as there are no good courses on that subject. Keep it up.

All the concepts are explained nicely. Course is certainly for advanced users. Suggestion - Instead of using a robotic voice for narration, if the instructor explained things personally, it would have been more clear. Also, I expected a Monitoring & Controlling section which was missing.

I see you assigning one single resource to activities across board, is that actually the correct practice ?

"BEST ADAVANCED P6 COURSE ON UDEMY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. HIGHLY RECOMMEND" The course is very well planned and delivered. All concepts were explained comprehensively and examples were very relevant and easy to understand. Audio & video were very well synchronised. This is the 3rd course i bought from this instructor. The other 2 are beginners P6 course and claims & delay analysis.

This is the best online course I have ever taken on udemy after the Primavera course from the same instructor. I took the primavera course when I started in my career may be from 4 or 5 years and now when I get experienced, the new course is too much useful for me Really this course deserves 1000 USD , and I'm waiting for the new course for monitor and control as well as the data presentation.
