Different roles need different depth. A project manager reading schedule reports does not need the same training as a scheduler building and updating live programmes.

Why train with PPSS.

  • Taught by project controls specialists

    PPSS is not just a software training provider. The training is delivered from the perspective of project delivery, scheduling discipline, reporting pressure and stakeholder accountability.

  • Practical, not menu-click training

    Participants learn how P6 is used in real scheduling environments, including updates, baselines, logic, constraints, layouts, reporting and common mistakes.

  • Built for different project roles

    A project manager, engineer, scheduler and project controls lead do not need the same level of depth. PPSS can train each role at the right level.

  • Support beyond the course

    For teams applying P6 on live projects, PPSS can provide follow-up support so training turns into actual schedule capability.

Training delivery options.

  • Live virtual

    Best for distributed teams or individual seats.

  • Brisbane classroom

    Best for local public courses or small cohorts.

  • On-site Australia-wide

    Best for project teams, PMOs and private training groups.

  • Tailored workshop

    Best for teams needing training around specific templates, contracts or reporting workflows.
