Course overview
Welcome to Construction Planning & Scheduling with Dr. Saleh Mubarak.
In this course, you will learn the skills you need to be an effective Construction project planner & scheduler as well as the knowledge you will need to begin scheduling Construction projects. If you’re interested in becoming an accomplished project controls professional, this training will establish your understanding of all the fundamental concepts, processes, and procedures necessary.
Many people mistakenly think taking a course on project management software is enough and that knowing how to use a computer application qualifies them to be professionals in project scheduling. It is a huge mistake to rush to learning the computer application before you understand the concepts, definitions, calculations, and mechanics of the Critical Path Method and all related subjects.
Dr. Mubarak, drawing from his 30+ years of in-the-field project experience, will teach you the proper approach to creating construction project schedules. Specifically, you will cover the life cycle of a construction schedule, from the moment the project is conceived, including estimating, creating a network, scheduling, analysis and updating. From there, Dr. Mubarak will focus on CPM scheduling and the intricacies of applying the Critical Path Methodology to real-life Construction timelines. You’ll also cover precedence networks, bar charts, total float, lag and lead time, calendars, driving relationship and many more topics specific to scheduling.
But that’s not all – get ready for real stories and lessons from the field as told only the way Dr. Mubarak can.
All in all, you will gain new skills to be competitive in your career as a Construction project scheduler…. and you might have a bit of fun along the way.

Very good, informative.
Great Class! I Came across some new things.
Valuable foundation knowledge. Cornerstone for basic understanding for scheduling.
Very informative and a good start to learning the functions and complexities of P6
He uses terms that he created and are not industry standards.
Information is laid out logically with real world examples.
Great Presentations! Lessons were packed with information, but short enough to adsorb it all. Quizzes were challenging!
I would prefer a smoother speaker. However, that is my preference.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course, its detail, and the design of the website. I can take thorough notes with the ease of use of it, and I feel like I have learned a lot. Ive been in the construction industry for nearly 15 years. I am so glad I found this site & hope to be able to advance in my career, in the future. Thank you PlanAcademy!
Very through. However, I was hoping for more actual time in the Primavera software.
Very informative
Great job
