The course teaches you, hands-on, to plan and schedule projects in Oracle Primavera P6. It begins with the principles of planning, and after that you build a schedule out of activities, relationships and constraints, add the costs, roles and resources, and then update the progress of the project and report on it.
Each step is practised in a P6 database of your own.
