Training is a necessity, but so is saving time and money. That’s what Global PM’s state-of-the-art virtual training will do for you! Students anywhere in the world can attend our in-person training classes (taught by a live instructor), using a cutting edge internet conferencing infrastructure.

It’s like being there in person as you participate in class exercises using P6. You will ask questions, interact with other students and learn from our Oracle Primavera P6 certified instructors. 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. Primavera software will be accessed by the student via a secure link over the internet.

This virtual, hands-on course provides training for Oracle’s Primavera P6 Release 16 (Client/Server) using advanced HD web conferencing technology. Led by a live instructor, virtual students will gain an understanding of the principles of planning and scheduling as well as hands-on experience building a P6 schedule from scratch, updating and monitoring the schedule, & generating reports. Participants may use our training server for all exercises (P6 release 16.2) or his/her own version of P6.
