Before Joining Primavera course in any Institute You should follow below given points.

Don’t do not give importance to Institute brand name, but ask about the faculty’s real time experience and Qualification.

Primavera training can only be delivered by an experienced project Manager, who has hands on with real time experience on Primavera. Such successful people are in no way will be full time employees of any training institutes.

As my 16+ yrs experience, strongly believe that Trainer should have SAP-PS or MM working experience. without practical experience regarding project how can some one able to teach A,B,C,D, of the project !!! it is highly impossible. No one can dream about OPEX, CAPEX, what is the cost center, GL, PR, PO, Service entry, Budget log, Approvals, estimation, Contract Management, Relationship Management, Site Operations and Manpower Management, resource planning, Cost Planning etc.

No doubt, there are company authorised Institutes that caters only to the corporate training requirements and do not focus on individual training & mostly these persons having IT background not Core Industry.

It is no way possible to train on primavera unless you are planner or consultant yourself with having knowledge of SAP, TPM, PMP, Six Sigma, 5S & Lean etc.

An trainer with lots of planning knowledge might not be able to deliver due to poor understanding of latest Software Interface ( Primavera GUI and features).
Always Prefer Trainer who is currently working in any organization as a planner or scheduler. Learn P6 7.0 & P6 8.3 Web both.

Primavera has much more features compare to MSP 2010 professional and leverages that features to have better control on the projects.

I believe that Primavera is powerful software, and helps to have control over budgeting, planning and controlling the over all project ( I am being in this business for more then 6 years Training & consulting to various industries. )

Primavera is useful for professional with experience and will be of little use to the rest; however learners with MSP 2010 can understand the subject to larger extent.

It is recommended to have a fair knowledge of MSP before you set your sight on Primavera Project Management learning, recommended MSP2010 for early starters with Project Mangers.

Primavera comes with improved features over the previous versions. Being a learner yourself, you might not be in position to know wether all the features are cover in your training session or some of the most valuables are left out.
The faculty might not be able to train you on most valuable features unless the faculty himself have 14/15 years of experience in planning sector. For instance, one radio button will change whole scheduling, like wise there are many more tabs setting, radio buttons, options to name.

Even after completing the Primavera P6 Training, it might be challenging to work in real scenario; hence, it is suggest that your get your faculty agrees to help you in such challenging situation. it might take you 2/3 projects in real time to learn all the tricks to handle and sail through projects successfully. The faculty can always help you over the phone or online whatever is convenient to both the parties involves.

PMP certification does help and it is mediatory to acquire PMP certification once you have more than 5 years of experience for a very successful career ahead.

PMP certification Training & Primavera software may not be related but to be very simple, Primavera is a tool and PMP is concept.
Primavera deals with project management with all major domain like civil, mechanical and electrical As prerequisite, the trainer should hold the relevant B.E/B.Tech in qualification to be able to deal with the subject efficiently.

To receive better attention of the trainer, it is better to have small group of student or individual sessions and get trained on the latest version of Primavera P6 7.0 or 8.1 or 8.2 or 8.3.

If you like to do that course, then follow above points to full fill or don;t do the course, else whole money will loss.

Get in touch with forums to have better understanding, before/after joining the course.

Please follow our course syllabus, we are at par with International standard, keeping in view the above suggestion, you can rate the institute and compare course fees.
Touch with Primavera forums to get basic knowledge, before/after joining the course.

Technical Questions to be asked in the time of learning Primavera P6

Q-1 Primavera is best to calculate cost per 8hrs, in assigning Resources -

lets Exp.

Excavator 8hr/day $100/day $800/ Total budget it will show

if

Excavator 10hr/day $100/day $1000/ Total budget it will show

Ask Faculty to solve- it should not $ 1000/ it should be showing $800/ as because you are paying per day basis not hour basis, not to bother about the how many hrs it worked.

Q-2 - In Resources window lets assume 4 resources named A,B,C,D assigned a job to complete within 10 days. assigning a plane resources is easy, ask faculty to solve like A,B will work same job for 4 days, then C,D will work for another 4 days then finally A,D will work rest 2 days. how to do ??

Q-3- In Primavera it is easy to describe Activity % completion in Duration, Physical & Unit wise, but ask any faculty to teach you Activity % by step wise, this is very very imp.

Q-4- How to calculate the cost for activities that have labor/nonlabor/material units with no assigned resources/roles or resources/roles that do not have prices.

Before joining you should first ask these Questions to your faculty, then after joining go to good forum sites, collect question & solve your all kind of doubts.

primavera is bit difficult to learn, not so easy so be serious other wise you will forget all things if you are not.

Who is the Planner by Technically ?

The Person who owns Engineering, Operation, Maintenance & Execution is called Planner or Project manager rest are scheduler.

In other way - planners who delegated to manage and control the project or the manufacturing site must understand engineering drawings, specification, detail scope and quantities. rest who is working in Primavera & MS Project without understanding engineering drawings, documents,specifications and dependencies among the disciplines/tasks are just program operator or level scheduler

Mail from a guy who suffering as a planner......

Dear Sir,

I am B.E Mechanical Engineer residing in Tamil Nadu, working as a Planning Engineer since last 4 years and had 13 yrs overall experience in Oil & Gas field. Usually I used to handle primavera software by just update the schedule by input progress % , Actual Start, Actual Completed activities & Remaining Duration. After the file is usually handled by my Manager and finalized the schedule. I don't get chance to manage the full schedule yet. So badly, I want to improve my skills in primavera software & Concepts (Eg: Scheduling Concepts, Risk Management Analysis etc...) since I am not much confident in managing the software due to lacking experience of some specific areas (most important to manage the schedule with analysis skill .....). Honestly I am getting good offers from the clients, but due to my inefficiency I am not confident to accept this proposal and proceed.

I just search this contact details through Google search engine and requesting your favor to fix this issue. If you can guide/help me, please suggest me with your valuable comments. If necessary, I can come directly to your center in person and utilize your best experience to get better success in my career.

*Note: Already completed p3 & p6 software from Chennai Institutes and Yet not confident. I am looking for good experienced professional trainer to get work with practical approach/project to overcome my issues in primavera concept & scheduling techniques.
