Register, Join & Learn
Overview
No Oracle® University-certified Primavera training center near you? Does our calendar of public, instructor-led classes in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, just not match up with your travel schedule? We understand that sometimes travel can be both inconvenient and cost-prohibitive. That’s why we offer Instructor-led Online Training (formerly “Virtual Training”)–both for private sessions and for classes which are listed on our public training Calendar. Students anywhere in the world can attend our classes by using the latest Web-conferencing technologies. It’s almost like being there in person. All you need is a phone, a computer, and an Internet connection. Instructor-led Online Training gives you the same comprehensive course content, materials, and PDUs/CEUs as our in-person training sessions, delivered by the same Primavera experts. Our instructors provide hands-on training—just as if you were in the room with them.
Private sessions are offered for groups of individuals from the same organization. Course materials, and completion certificates with PDUs/CEUs are provided. We offer our private, online classes for one instructor and up to 12 attendees. If desired, in some cases customization allows for a course to be presented in fewer days than its standard published duration—earning its participants fewer than its standard number of PDUs/CEUs.
Please visit our Training pages, to find our complete course catalog and class calendar.

Overview
Prefer to choose from among recorded lessons? Like learning at your own pace, in your own place? Are our Eastern-time-zone training hours not convenient for you? That’s why we’ve created a library of videos introducing specific Primavera knowledge and skills. Self-paced On-demand Training is pay-as-you-go, so just select your lessons and dive right in. Students anywhere in the world can view our recorded classes, using just a computer and an Internet connection.
Self-paced On-demand Training gives you the same comprehensive course content as our instructor-led training sessions, delivered by the same Oracle University-certified Primavera experts. Our instructors are recorded while delivering hands-on training, so it’s just as if you were in a room with them—plus you can rewind and re-watch. You’ll have access to your lesson(s) for one year from the date of purchase. Since you determine when you’ve completed a lesson, there are no PDUs/CEUs or completion certificates associated with this training format.
Plus after you’ve viewed any of our recorded lessons, you’re eligible to schedule a live one-on-one tutoring session with a certified Oracle University training instructor via Web meeting, for an additional fee.
We’re always expanding our video library. Is there a lesson you’d like us to add? Let us know!
