Our program:
AAC-100 Scope Management
This "Scope Management & Cost Fundamentals" training course focuses on setting up and controlling the project scope. You'll learn to work with Project Breakdown Structure (PBS), Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS), and translate them into clear work packages. Practical insights into linking scope items to work packages, quantities and hours, and measuring progress with the Rule of Credit provide a grip on planning and costs. You are also introduced to cost management and setting up a CBS.
AAC-200 Project Planning
This Project Planning course provides an in-depth theoretical foundation in planning projects. You will be introduced to essential concepts, methods and processes such as creating, modifying and monitoring schedules. The course covers the roles, tasks and competencies of the project planner and focuses on determining activities, milestones, lead times and dependencies. Analyzing critical paths and applying reporting techniques, such as Gantt Charts and Look Ahead reports, are also covered in detail.
AAC-300 Resource Planning
In the Resource Planning course, you will learn how to efficiently deploy and manage resources within projects. You will discover how to apply capacity planning, allocate resources, distribute tasks and prevent peak workloads. Resource Driven planning, deployment, availability analysis and prioritization are also covered in detail. You will learn to define roles and resources, define working hours and maximum deployment, and how to intelligently allocate resources by activity. You become familiar with reports such as histograms, s-curves and tables and work with relevant definitions and formulas.
AAC-400 Risk Management
In the Risk Management course you will dive into the basics of risk management for projects. You will discover what exactly risk management is, why it is so important and what tasks and skills you need as a risk manager. You will learn step by step how to recognize and analyze risks, for example by determining Thresholds, working with Matrices and categorizing risks for Dashboards. Techniques such as Monte Carlo analysis and Weather Modeling are also covered, as is working with Risk Factors for Price Change. You will gain an understanding of reporting methods such as Distribution Charts, Tornado and Scatter charts. This course is the theoretical preparation for the Risk Management using Oracle Primavera Cloud course.
AAC-500 Cost Control
In this 'Cost Control' course you get a clear introduction to managing costs within projects. You will discover exactly what cost control entails, which techniques and analyses you can apply, and why this knowledge is indispensable for you as a project professional. You will get to grips with the role, tasks and competencies of a cost controller, and learn how to put processes such as data collection, analysis and consulting to practical use. Practical topics such as budgeting, Earned Value management, CPI & SPI and reporting via tables and S-curves are all covered in detail. Ideal if you want to get a better grip on the costs of your projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Third-party software in the context of Primavera?
Third-party software is additional software from third-party vendors that works with Oracle Primavera. It adds functionality that is not standard in Primavera Cloud, such as advanced visualizations or risk management.
Do I need additional software besides Primavera Cloud?
Usually not, because Primavera Cloud already offers extensive functionality. Still, TurboChart and RISKID can be valuable additions for linear planning and professional risk management.
What does TurboChart do in conjunction with Primavera Cloud?
TurboChart makes time-way diagrams (linear schedules) simple and visually appealing. It works with Primavera Cloud or P6 Client by importing schedules and synchronizing updates, including baselines and progress comparisons.
Who is the TurboChart training suitable for?
The ATC-100 training is designed for experienced planners with basic knowledge of project planning. You will learn to create and link time path diagrams and Line of Balance diagrams to Primavera Cloud.
What is RISKID and how does it work with Primavera Cloud?
RISKID supports risk inventory and links this data to the Primavera Cloud risk register via an Excel import template. This creates a complete and reliable register for professional risk management.
What will I learn in the RISKID training?
In the RID-100 training you will learn to identify, structure and correctly import risks into Primavera Cloud. The focus is on a structured approach and optimal use of risk management functionalities.
Why does Aram Academy work with TurboChart and RISKID?
Aram Academy is a partner of both vendors and the training provider for the use of these tools in combination with Primavera. We make sure that you get the most out of the coupling and integration.
