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.

good course
Great course
Good information for a project scheduler.
I have a very good understanding of project controls concepts such as CPM, EVM etc. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the course. My background is in IT and I was excited to learn a bit about the specifics of consrtuction planning as its name suggests and hence the 4 stars.
Very informative with an excellent, very knowledgeable instructor
Great introduction to project scheduling that was accessible for someone with minimal construction knowledge. Definitely would need more, however, to actually begin work as a scheduler or using scheduling software
Easy to understand
First time user of the software, clear instructions on functionality, really good background information for P6 concepts
Very informative and a good start to learning the functions and complexities of P6
It was a great course!
