How the live courses run

Small groups, real files, recordings the same day.

You are not watching a course — you are doing the work with an instructor who does it for a living. Each session you build the artefact (a job plan, a schedule, an S-curve, a practice exam set) on files we give you, and you leave with the template.

Live on ZoomSessions in small groups so your questions get answered. Dates and times are confirmed with each cohort — evening and weekend options for people who work.
Recordings includedEvery session is recorded and shared the same day, with the files used in class.
Templates & filesSchedules, workbooks, dashboards and checklists from real projects (client names removed) — yours to keep.
Support between sessionsQuestions on WhatsApp between sessions and access to the community.
Certificate of completionIssued when you finish the course work, for your CV and your records.
On site for teamsThe same courses delivered at your site in the USA, Canada and worldwide by arrangement.

FAQ

Questions people ask before enrolling.

Are the courses live or recorded?

Live on Zoom in small groups, and every session is recorded and shared the same day. If you miss a session you watch the recording and bring your questions to the next one. On-site delivery is available for teams.

How long do I keep access to the recordings and files?

The recordings and files of your cohort stay available to you after the course ends. Templates are yours to keep and use at work.

Do I need to buy software?

For P6 we show you how to get a working copy for practice and we provide the practice files. Excel is enough for the manpower, S-curve and KPI tools. Power BI Desktop is free.

Is there a job guarantee?

Only the Job-Ready Project Controls Program carries the 90-day job guarantee; its terms are on the home page. The $199 courses are training only — no guarantee of a job or of an exam pass.

Can my company pay and get an invoice?

Yes. Stripe issues a receipt at checkout, and we can invoice a company for group seats or on-site delivery — use the form above.

What time zone are the sessions in?

Eastern (US) by default, with evening and weekend options. For on-site or corporate groups we run on your local time.
