Find your path
Choose the right P6 training path.
Different roles need different depth. A project manager reading schedule reports does not need the same training as a scheduler building and updating live projects.

Why PPSS
Why train with PPSS.
Training led by consultants who run live schedules every week — not a software vendor reading from a manual.
- 01
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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
