Students anywhere in the world can attend our in-person training classes (taught by a live instructor), using a cutting-edge internet conferencing infrastructure.

You will feel like you are there in person as you view your Oracle certified instructor and his screen, ask him questions, interact with the other attendees, and complete class exercises using Primavera P6 and the training manual that was sent to you prior to training.

Our training solution offers hands-on training, just as if you were in Global PM’s training lab. You only need a computer, phone (or PC with a mic and speakers), and an internet connection.
