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 Content
great information, short to the point
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.
Great Presentations! Lessons were packed with information, but short enough to adsorb it all. Quizzes were challenging!
Well taught, Good examples and back up. Well done .
This course is very well presented by an instructor who's approach is measured perfectly to new users of P6. It will provide you with the basics to get up and running whilst providing access to a very helpful and insighful network of likewise individuals who can give you a steer when confronted with moments of - wait.....what? I completed this course a few years ago and it became the foundation of my new career as a Project Planner. I've continually subscribed to this service since completing the course as the videos in theis course and others, are pearls of wisdom that get you moving againwhen you haven't used a feature for a while and need a reboot to explain its functions and applications. Thank you Michael and the team. Please keep up the good work!
Great Course! Dr Mubarak is by far the most knowledgeable project controls expert I have ever come across. Saleh possesses a rare combination of an unmatched wealth of technical knowledge with years of quality practical field experience. The subjects are broken down into clear and easy to understand points, real life examples are given, and the material is brought to life. I learned alot from this course and would recommend the course to anyone involved in the Project Controls field. Even experienced Professionals can learn new things while taking this course.
The descriptions were clear and detailed. The content was very helpful.
Great course and format! I like how the lessons are broken into short durations that are easy to progress and digest even with a hectic work and home life.
Very through. However, I was hoping for more actual time in the Primavera software.
I think a written format should be provided with the videos that’s separate of the transcripts, that communicates the ideas in a more succinct concise textbook manner. This would facilitate better comprehension overall, instead of trying to discern what the instructor means by the word choice/grammar that the instructor is using. Whereby written definitions and concepts can be gleaned in concert with the instructor’s knowledge and examples.
Valuable foundation knowledge. Cornerstone for basic understanding for scheduling.
