Primavera P6 Fundamentals from Rel.8 to Rel.21

Learning in an organization is not an option—it's a requirement for success. The Oracle

Primavera products optimize the value of knowledge and knowledge sharing within an

enterprise and their value grows in direct proportion to the knowledge of the people

who use them.

Primavera Training offers a full suite of Primavera classes to help make your

implementation successful. The classes combine theory and practice, with some lecture

and product interaction. Students use hands-on exercises and a case study approach to

reinforce concepts and gain practical experience in using the software.

Primavera training focuses on ensuring that your Primavera users understand their

software thoroughly and know how to optimize their productivity using it.
