Strategic Axis training class allows attendees to focus on the real world application of Primavera. It explores the different methods of analysis, risk analysis process, and scheduling concepts.

Our Oracle Primavera class is designed to allow users and management to be pro-active in understanding the progress of the project relating to money and communication.

At Strategic Axis, we understand the time pressures routinely faced by project teams. Taking a full week out of the office to learn new software systems can be challenging when real projects are bidding for your attention.

This is why Strategic Axis has developed highly-streamlined Primavera P6 training classes that get to the point quickly and effectively. All of our courses follow a fast-track principle providing the knowledge you need in less time than the “vanilla” courses offered by our competitors.

Primavera P6 is a sophisticated system with vast capabilities. We won’t teach you everything it can do; we teach you everything you need to know. That’s the Strategic Axis difference!

Strategic Axis Primavera P6 training courses are thorough and succinct; structured to maximize learning by adopting an approach of explanation, demonstration and practice teaching. Whether you’re a visual, auditory or tactile learner, each topic is presented using techniques that are synchronous with your particular learning style.
