Primavera P6 Course Perth
Logitrain delivers hands on Primavera P6 training in Perth for the project planners, schedulers and project controls staff who keep Western Australian projects on track. Oracle Primavera P6 is the planning and scheduling software that large projects are built on, and in Perth that means resources and mining, oil and gas, infrastructure and construction, the sectors that run the state’s economy and that depend on solid project scheduling. If your work involves planning or controlling projects in WA, Primavera P6 is the tool employers want you to know, and this course teaches you to use it properly.
This is a practical course, not a slideshow. You build a project from the ground up, create the work breakdown structure, schedule activities with the critical path method, assign and level resources, set baselines, track progress and produce the reports stakeholders read. You finish able to open Primavera P6 on site or in the office and do the job. The course is part of our national Primavera P6 training program, delivered locally for Perth.
Primavera P6 training for Perth industries
Perth’s project work is dominated by the resources sector, and Primavera P6 is the scheduling standard across mining, oil and gas and the major contractors who service them. It is built for large, complex projects with thousands of activities and multiple planners working on one schedule, which is exactly the kind of work run out of Perth on mine builds, shutdowns, plant construction and infrastructure. Learning Primavera P6 properly is what lets you plan and control that scale of work, rather than struggling with a tool meant for smaller projects. Whether you are moving into project controls or sharpening skills you already use, this course is built around the real planning and scheduling work Perth employers hire for.
What you will learn
The course covers the everyday work of a planner or scheduler. You will set up a project and its calendars, build a work breakdown structure, define and link activities, and schedule using the critical path method so you can see what drives your end date. You will assign roles, resources and costs, level overloaded resources, and use baselines to measure progress against the plan. You will also learn the practical skills that save hours on site, activity codes, filters, layouts, global change and clear progress reporting. The full topic list is in the course outline below.
How training is delivered in Perth
You can train live online in real time from anywhere in Western Australia, or have us run a course on site at your premises for your team.

Why learn Primavera P6 in Perth?
Primavera P6 skills are in steady demand in Perth, and they pay. Perth’s project work is dominated by the resources sector, mining, oil and gas, and the major contractors who service them, along with infrastructure and construction, and Primavera P6 is the scheduling standard across all of them. The planner or scheduler who knows Primavera P6 is the person who keeps these projects on track, and Perth employers hire for that skill by name. Job advertisements for project planners, schedulers and project controls roles in Western Australia list Primavera P6 directly, so the software on your resume opens doors that general project management knowledge does not.
Primavera P6 is also built for the scale of work run out of Perth. It lets multiple planners work on one schedule at the same time and can manage very large, multi thousand activity projects, which is exactly what mine builds, shutdowns, plant construction and major infrastructure require. A smaller scheduling tool cannot handle that, which is why Primavera P6 is the standard on large Western Australian projects. Learning it properly, with hands on practice rather than watching someone else use it, is what turns it from complex software into a tool you can rely on every day, whether you are on site or in the office.
There are no formal prerequisites for this Primavera P6 course. You will get the most from it if you have basic computer skills and a general understanding of how projects work, but you do not need any prior Primavera experience. The course starts from the fundamentals and builds up, so beginners moving into planning or project controls are welcome, and experienced project staff who want to use Primavera P6 properly will move through the early material quickly.
This is a practical, hands on skills course rather than an exam based certification, so there is no exam to sit. You receive a Logitrain certificate of attendance on completion, and more importantly you finish with the practical Primavera P6 skills to use the software in your role straight away. If your workplace requires a specific Oracle credential, contact us and we will explain the current options.
Comprehensive Primavera P6 course material in digital format is included, so you can refer back to it on the job after the course. The material follows the hands on exercises worked through in class, step by step, so it doubles as a practical reference when you are building your own schedules later.
