Thank you very much for such a well-developed and presented course. It delivered above my expectations.
I enjoyed enrolling in this course. The pace at which the class goes with a detailed explanation and visually showing us how to perform various options is amazing plus the quizzes and practice workshops at the end of each module helps with practicing the concepts I just learned. Not to mention the value added with building a project using actual project documents. As soon as I got access to the schedule for a previous project from my company, I felt very comfortable where to look for key information, and the ability to decipher the schedule specification is such an invaluable aspect of this course. Thank you Michael Lepage for putting together a great course. Last but not the least, I also loved the outtakes video at the end giving us a peek at the video production of the course. I will definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to learn advanced topics of P6 software. However, I just have one comment. A video lecture on Earned Value Management would have been great. Nevertheless, it's a great course...
Terrific course. Michael is an engaging instructor who creates an atmosphere where students feel comfortable contributing. The virtual format allows us to review video of the class later on, and the PlanAcademy forum is a handy tool for getting clarification on problems related to both the classroom and real-world. These are real advantages over a traditional classroom approach.
This was a great course for someone like me with zero P6 experience. I took lots of notes but still managed to miss some quiz questions and need help on a few topics. I didn't realize how time-consuming the course would be and I am grateful the course was broken up into lessons that I could wedge into my workday between tasks. My primary role is a construction cost estimator so some of the terminology was foreign to me. Oh, and honestly, the pronunciation of "resource" with a "z" sounding s was so irritating! (LOL)
Valuable training with realistic examples which kept me active the whole time. Everything is explained in a simple and direct manner. Thank you.
Very informative and concise. Lots of useful and new information regarding planning and the tools deeper within Primavera. Would recommend this course to any project scheduler with less than ten years of useful experience or to anyone looking to learn more about CPM scheduling.
Some awesome tips and tricks that I would have never discovered on my own. Great course.
Very informative and well broken down to help understand the viewer.
I loved the progressive path through the course from start to finish. Michael is very helpful and knowledgeable offering great layouts & tips for becoming better at scheduling. I have already recommended the course to others in the industry.
It was a great walkthrough with Michael learning about advance scheduling in the construction domain. I come from a different domain (Turnaround and Maintenance) and wanted to learn how does this industry utilize P6 to its full extent. And this was indeed the Aha moment for me !! I learned many new tricks and found some similar to what I have been practicing with extensive activity codes out of ROSER, be it for cost account or resource coding, all topics were briefly covered to my expectation. I only miss the Earned Value part which was of utmost interest for me, hopefully in the upcoming programs that should be covered with some emphasis on schedule updating and baseline revision during project execution ! Thank you Michael for this wonderful course ! Happy learning !!
Although there were some little hiccups with some of the material, overall this was an excellent training course. My only regret was that I was not able to devote as much time and effort as I wanted due to being in an IBR for work during the second week of the course. However, this was on me... Excellent Course!!!
Really good well informed course...maybe a bit more detail on progress reporting I shall, and have recommended Plan Academy to colleagues P6 Advanced Course Couple of issues.... 1) Printing...I did not have an A1 paper to select....I used A3 and did not get the desired output..? 2) Question 6 in the last test...my Answer was PS-1M....and...PF+1M for printing buffer...is this correct...I was marked down Many thanks to the Plan Academy team..
