Edoxi’s Primavera P6 Course in Dubai is a 24-hour, 12-module programme that takes you from project setup to a resource-loaded project schedule. The syllabus covers Enterprise Project Structure (EPS), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), activity coding, all four activity relationship types, Critical Path Method (CPM), constraints, baselines, reflection projects, and resource allocation. You train on Oracle Primavera P6 Professional Version 26 and build a complete project schedule through practical exercises.

led by Jacqulin Johnson spent nine years in project controls before moving into training. She holds PMP® and PMI-RMP® credentials, is Oracle-certified in Primavera P6, and has trained 500+ professionals across 35+ batches. Classes run at Edoxi’s Dubai centre or live online, with a three-day corporate training option. You work through one project step by step, developing a schedule with linked activities, a calculated critical path, assigned resources and a baseline.

The course prepares you for planning engineer, project scheduler and project controls roles across Dubai’s construction, infrastructure, interior fit-out, aviation and utilities sectors. On completion, you receive an Edoxi Course Completion Certificate, issued by a KHDA permitted training provider.

What is Primavera P6?

Oracle Primavera P6 is project management software used to plan, schedule and control complex projects. Planning professionals use it to organise activities, establish dependencies, calculate critical paths, assign resources and track progress against an approved project baseline. From high-rise construction to transport infrastructure, Primavera P6 helps project teams manage deadlines, resource requirements and interconnected work packages. Learning P6 Professional equips you with practical scheduling skills relevant to planning and project controls positions in Dubai.

Skills and Outcomes

What Do You Learn in Edoxi’s Primavera P6 Course?

Across 12 practical modules, you learn to plan activities, link them in a logical sequence, hold contract dates, allocate resources and build a resource-loaded project schedule in Primavera P6.

  1. Build the structure a project lives in

    An EPS node, a configured project and the working calendar every schedule date is calculated against.

  2. Break scope into a WBS that measures progress

    A work breakdown structure with weighted milestones, so reports show value delivered rather than activities ticked off.

  3. Load activities with codes and cost

    A coded, cost-loaded activity list, ready for any view, filter or cost rollup you need later.

  4. Link activities with all four relationship types

    A logic network using finish-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-start and start-to-finish links, so one slipped date moves everything downstream.

  5. Calculate the schedule and find the critical path

    A scheduled network showing total float and the longest path, recalculated whenever a duration or link changes.

  6. Apply constraints without hiding what they cost

    Contract dates held where they must be, with the float each constraint uses up kept visible.

  7. Test a resequence without losing the baseline

    A reflection copy where you try out a change first, then merge it back with the original project baselined.

  8. Assign roles and resources to every activity

    A resource-loaded schedule showing what each activity needs and what that demand costs across the project.

Curious about the assessment?

You build a sample project from your own industry, and passing it earns your certificate.

Curriculum

Career Impact

Is learning Primavera P6 worth it in Dubai?

Yes, for anyone moving into planning or project controls. Dubai’s 2026 budget puts AED 47.8 billion into infrastructure, 48% of total spending and a 20% increase on 2025. The roles that schedule that work, from planning engineer to planning manager, name Primavera P6 in the job specification, and consultants working to RTA specifications are recruiting for them now.

Why Primavera Skills Are in High Demand in Dubai? 

Dubai’s infrastructure pipeline is creating demand for project planning skills. The AED 20.5 billion Metro Blue Line contract was awarded in December 2024, and the project was 12% complete by December 2025, with 30 kilometres of track, 14 stations and more than 3,500 people working across 12 active sites. Project controls roles, including those at AECOM, require schedules aligned with RTA specifications and standard work breakdown structures.

Construction and property development are another source of demand. DAMAC awarded US$2.72 billion in construction contracts in the first half of 2026, while Dubai Holding awarded AED 5 billion to China State Construction in September 2026. Developers such as Azizi Developments also advertise planning engineer and fit-out planning engineer roles.

Primavera P6 skills are relevant across infrastructure, high-rise construction, interior fit-out and large-scale development projects, where teams need to sequence activities, manage dependencies, monitor deadlines and allocate resources.

How Much Do Primavera Professionals Earn in the UAE?

Planning roles in Dubai pay from around AED 9,000 a month at engineer level to about AED 26,000 for planning managers, depending on role and experience. The table below shows reported average and median pay for common planning and project controls roles.

Role, as advertised locally Level Monthly salary (AED) Source and sample
Planning Engineer Engineer 9,369 (average) Indeed UAE · 448 salaries · 6 Sep 2026
Planning Engineer Engineer 10,000 (median) Glassdoor Dubai · 2026 · Sample not disclosed

Senior Planning Engineer Senior 21,000 (median) Glassdoor Dubai · 36 salaries · 2026
Planning Manager Manager 26,000 (median) Glassdoor Dubai · 2026 · Sample not disclosed

Figures come from platforms with different methods and samples, so they are not directly comparable. Indeed reports user-submitted salaries, while Glassdoor reports total pay, including additional compensation. These figures are market indicators, not guaranteed or starting salaries.

Top-hiring sectors: Roads and transport infrastructure, high-rise residential and building construction, interior fit-out, and aviation.

Primavera P6 vs Microsoft Project: Which Is Right for Your Projects?

For planning roles in Dubai, learn Primavera P6. Contractor and consultant job specifications name it, and it handles large construction and infrastructure programmes. Microsoft Project works well for single projects and smaller teams, and many Dubai employers ask for both.

Aspect Primavera P6 Microsoft Project
Dubai job market Common in planning engineer and project controls roles Often listed alongside P6
Project scale Manages multiple projects in a shared database Best suited to individual projects and smaller teams
Baselines Stores multiple baselines, with up to four assigned at a time Supports up to 11 baselines
Out-of-sequence progress Offers retained logic and progress override options Does not provide the same equivalent setting
Best for Large contractor and consultant programmes Smaller projects and internal planning

You don’t have to choose just one. Most Dubai planners use both, and this course teaches the one that takes longer to learn.

Industry Applications

Which Industries Use Primavera P6 in Dubai?

Primavera P6 isn’t tied to one industry, but these five sectors are where Dubai hires for it most. Here’s how each one uses P6 and what you build in the course that it needs.

Industry What Primavera P6 is used for What you build in the course
Roads and transport infrastructure Scheduling work packages and coordinating project dependencies A logic network showing how delays affect downstream activities (Module 6)

Frequently Asked Questions

Primavera P6 Course in Dubai: Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any Primavera P6 experience to join?

No. Basic computer skills and a general understanding of project planning are enough to get started. Module 1 assumes you have never opened the software, and the course builds a complete project schedule from an empty database. An engineering or construction background helps but is not required.
Edoxi’s Primavera P6 course in Dubai runs for 24 hours across 12 modules. New groups start every month. If the scheduled batch doesn’t suit you, you can arrange weekday or weekend sessions at a time that works for you between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM, subject to availability.
The course costs AED 1,800 plus VAT. You can pay in full or split the fee into instalments with Tabby. Our course advisors can confirm the payment options available to you.
You receive an Edoxi Course Completion Certificate, issued by a KHDA-permitted training institute in Dubai. It records the course name, training hours and completion date, so employers can see exactly what you covered. You can also request a KHDA-attested certificate, with a QR code employers can scan to verify it online.
 

Yes. You can choose classroom training or live online sessions, and the fee is the same for both. Both formats cover the same 12 modules and practical exercises with the same trainer. Classroom learners use the training centre’s computers, while online learners need a compatible Windows computer.

Yes. Edoxi offers the same 12-module syllabus as a customised three-day corporate programme, delivered at your office or live online. The exercises can be tailored to your team’s planning work, and the sample project can be replaced with one of your own. Corporate training is quoted per team rather than at the individual course fee.

Yes, if you choose the classroom option, where computers are provided. For practice at home or online classes, you need a 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 computer with at least 4GB of memory and 5GB of free disk space. P6 Professional does not run natively on macOS.

Yes. The course takes you through building a project schedule, calculating its network, identifying the critical path, setting a baseline, and assigning roles and resources. By the end, you can create a resource-loaded schedule with a baseline. Ongoing schedule updates, progress monitoring and earned value reporting require additional practice and are beyond the course’s main scope.

No. Primavera P6 is project scheduling software, while project management covers the wider methods and practices used to plan, execute and control projects. P6 helps you organise activities, dependencies, resources and baselines, but effective planning also requires an understanding of critical path method, earned value management and delay analysis. Edoxi’s Primavera P6 course focuses on using the software; a PMP qualification follows a broader project management pathway.

The course uses Primavera P6 Professional Version 26, released in December 2025. P6 can open files from earlier versions, although compatibility depends on the file format and the features used. XER is widely used to exchange project data but does not preserve baselines in the same way as P6 XML. Microsoft Project file compatibility also depends on the export format and the software version. If you need to exchange schedules with your office, confirm the required format before transferring files.

Yes, particularly if you work in construction, engineering or project planning in Dubai. Employers and clients may request familiarity with both tools, especially for large projects. Learning Primavera P6 adds skills in activity relationships, critical path scheduling, baselines and resource loading. However, Microsoft Project schedules may not transfer perfectly into P6, so you should expect to review imported data and correct any compatibility issues.

For roles that specifically require Primavera P6, start with P6 Professional. Oracle Primavera Cloud is a separate product with different capabilities and workflows, not simply a newer version of P6. P6 EPPM is another distinct product, designed for enterprise project portfolio and programme management through a web-based environment. Edoxi’s course focuses on Primavera P6 Professional rather than Primavera Cloud or P6 EPPM.
