Training paths

Learning outcomes
What participants learn to handle
Reading the schedule
Understand WBS, activities, dates, float, logic and the critical path well enough to participate in schedule reviews.
Updating progress
Record progress, review status and understand the risks of constraints, broken logic and poor update discipline.
Reviewing schedule quality
Recognise common warning signs in P6 schedules before they become reporting, claims or delivery problems.
Communicating with project teams
Use shared scheduling language so engineers, PMs and controls teams can work from the same schedule view.

Why PPSS
Why train with PPSS
PPSS are practitioners first, trainers second: project controls specialists who work on live schedules, not generic software trainers.
- 01
Built from real project controls work
Training content comes from capital project scheduling, reporting pressure and the mistakes that show up in live reviews, not a generic software syllabus.
- 02
Delivered by people who understand live projects
Instructors work in project controls environments and understand contractor submissions, PMO gates and owner-side reporting expectations.
- 03
Focused on schedule credibility
Participants learn discipline around logic, dates, updates and reporting, not just which buttons to click.
- 04
Suitable for capital projects and mixed teams
Content works for owner-side teams, contractors and engineering organisations delivering major infrastructure, resources and energy projects.
- 05
Tailored to your project environment
Private workshops can align examples to your WBS, templates and reporting cycle where practical.
