Have you ever said to yourself?

"There is a genius inside me. I am ambitious and hardworking but still unable to deliver effective results."

"I feel that I know a lot but I can't put all pieces together."

"I know WHAT needs to be done. I just don't know the HOW"

"I see other planning engineers produce amazing reports. Maybe I am not that clever."

"I don't have enough confidence to pass interview questions."

"I am overwhelmed with P6 and all the confusion related to project control in general."

Planning is far more than just Primavera skills

I get it. I was like you 13 years ago. I learned a lot over the years, made many mistakes, worked under pressure. While I was working in super-large projects, I was forced to create systems, tools and methods to add value and deliver RESULTS.

But you don't have to go through the same struggles because I am here to offer you a step-by-step guidance on how to develop cost and resource loaded baseline, update schedule and prepare effective reports.

“Practical Project Control Course” is like having a guide in your pocket. It shows you what to do and how to set things up.

Here is the thing...

There are thousands of engineers who are competing for the same job. But if you have average skills, you get average career opportunities. It is essential to acquire practical skills and knowledge which will help you add value and get the job DONE. 

If you keep searching about project control tutorials, you will spend a lot of time consuming random pieces of content. You will spend a lot more $$ on independent courses and you won’t learn how  to accomplish daily planning tasks.

Googling “practical project control for real-life projects” is not likely to get you the answers that you are so desperately looking for either.

A specialized step-by-step program walking you through how to plan and control projects is THE most cost and time effective way to advance your planning skills and accelerate your career growth.

How is this course different from other courses?

"Practical project Control" Course is the first step-by-step learning program that focuses on the problem you're trying to solve... specifically how to plan and control projects (not just how to use a Primavera tool). 

The program is 100% practical. You will learn the tools and methods which are used to manage real-life projects.

This is a fully integrated course that teaches you how to think and act as a planner.

It also teaches how to use Excel and Powerpoint softwares in project control context. 

Learning how to use a specific software independently in a standalone mode is not effective because planning is an integrated effort. For example, when you prepare a dashboard, you may need to use advanced P6 features to quickly extract certain data then perform an extended analysis using Excel.

How can the course help you?

1- Produce amazing work and show it in your CV to get shortlisted.

2- Show supreme competencies and skills.

3- Get recognition by your team and stakeholders as a planning engineer who is knowledgeable and expert.

4- Develop strong project control foundation and mindset that will help you solve future problems and set you up for success.

5- Gain superior planning knowledge because if you have an average knowledge, you will get average career opportunities.

How much does it ACTUALLY cost you?

The course price is still a fraction of what a master degree will cost you. Moreover, academic degrees won't teach you the baseline development in accordance with contract requirements, the schedule updates as per best practices, progress curve, comprehensive reports or what a client expects to see in a presentation during a progress meeting. Employers are looking to hire professional planning engineers who have a practical knowledge and can get the job DONE.

The course price might be equivalent to a one day salary or two months salary for you. This can be the best investment that you will make in yourself so far. You will significantly compress the time horizon for your career development. You will also gain supreme skills and unlock better career opportunities for many years ahead. Your average skills and lack of knowledge will cost you more in the long run. So the course really pays for itself.
