Our two-day CPD accredited(15 CPD hours) training is not focussed on planning software "pushing buttons" but on the systems, processes and procedures of undertaking construction planning throughout the project lifecycle.

The training is drawn from best practices in both contractor and client environments on the London2012 Olympics and Crossrail Programmes and uses examples from them to demonstrate the application in project controls.

Our training teaches construction delivery professionals (project managers, engineers, construction & site managers, planners, cost engineers) how to undertake construction planning with emphasis on an integrated approach to project controls hence enabling their organisations to enhance their project controls capability.

The training is also essential for Engineers that are keen to transition into planning and project controls and we also provide Primavera P6 training to facilitate this process.
