Build, schedule and update projects in Oracle Primavera P6, from setting up the EPS and WBS to linking activities, assigning resources, saving baselines and producing progress reports.
Primavera P6 Fundamentals training in Doha, Qatar teaches planners and engineers how to create and control project schedules in Oracle Primavera P6, covering both P6 Professional and the web-based P6 EPPM environment. Learners set up the enterprise project structure (EPS), build a work breakdown structure, add activities and relationships, and schedule the project to find the critical path. The course then moves into calendars, constraints, and resource and cost loading, so that a schedule reflects how the work will really be delivered.
Each session is hands-on, with learners building a complete sample project in P6 step by step. They save a baseline, record actual progress, reschedule against a data date and compare current dates with the baseline to spot slippage. Practical exercises cover layouts, filters and standard reports used in contractor and client reporting. Organizations can request the course as an in-house program built around their own project types, coding structures and reporting requirements, either at their offices or online.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Navigate P6 and set up the EPS, OBS, projects and work breakdown structure
Create activities, assign durations and link them with appropriate relationship types
Schedule a project and interpret total float and the critical path
Configure calendars and apply constraints correctly
Define resources and assign them to activities with costs
Set a baseline, update progress and compare performance against the baseline
Produce layouts, filters and reports for project stakeholders

Major projects in Qatar, from transport and utilities to oil and gas facilities and real estate developments, commonly require contractors to submit and update schedules prepared in Primavera P6. Clients and consultants use these schedules to monitor progress, assess delays and approve payments. Planners in Doha who can build a sound critical path schedule and keep it updated support better decisions on site and contribute to the efficient project delivery that Qatar National Vision 2030 depends on.
Join a scheduled class at our training center in Doha or attend live online. For organizations, the course can run as an in-house program at your premises or online, tailored to your sector, examples and schedule.
It is hands-on Primavera P6 training in Doha, Qatar that teaches how to build a project schedule in Oracle Primavera P6, calculate the critical path, assign resources, set baselines, update progress and generate the reports used on real projects.
Planning engineers, project engineers, site engineers, project controls staff and project managers who need to create, update or review P6 schedules will benefit. It is also useful for client and consultant staff who assess contractor schedules.
No previous P6 experience is required, although basic computer skills and some familiarity with how projects run are helpful. The course explains scheduling concepts such as relationships, float and the critical path before applying them in the software.
Yes. The training can be run at your offices or online for a group from your organization, using your own project types, WBS and coding structures, on a schedule that suits your team. Contact Leaders Training Center to arrange the details.
