Planning Engineer, making studying planning easier!

The course:

The Professional Planning Engineer (PPE) has been developed in a manner that will aid planning engineers in gaining the required knowledge, with the help of the study techniques and practical content that we develop and provide, which will empower them to plan, monitor, control, and report construction projects in a real construction projects environment. The aim of this course is to provide planning engineers with the right knowledge, content, and support which will enable them to comprehend and apply the theories they learn in an effective manner, thereby transforming them into smart planning engineers in the professional world.

Workshops for project management can be costly and in this way, it is essential to guarantee that the workshop you are going to sign up for will be worth your time and money. There should be a genuine profit for the preparation speculation, which is why this course has been specially formulated while keeping the end benefit of the trainee in mind.

Why is this course any different?

A meagre amount time in construction projects is dedicated towards planning and making changes and amends to these plans; nearly 15% to 20% of the total project time. The remaining time is often directed and dedicated to other important project management activities, like monitoring, controlling, and reporting. Even though planning is allotted a smaller fraction of the total time available, it is still the most crucial element of the entire project. If the planning is done wrong or if tiny errors take place, the entire project may be at risk of either failing or running late. Hence, the focus of this planning and project management course is to help planning engineers carry out efficient management of projects, with the help of a carefully formulated mega project case study. The aim of this course will not only be to provide planning engineers with book knowledge but to be able to give practical knowledge as well, with the help of the case study.

Project Management Plan:

The scope of the workshop will not be confined to just study material, quizzes, and exams, but will rather extend to hypothetical applications of the planning techniques as well. This will be done with the help of a project management development plan that will be carried out in this course. This project will be carried out from scratch and will be aimed at improving the project management capabilities and capacities of the planning engineers. The project will comprise of 164 buildings, 170 villas, external works, infrastructure works, and landscape works; all of which will be worth 600+ Millions U.S Dollars. The reason for the development of this technique as a part of the course curriculum is to help planning engineers polish various skills related to construction planning and project management, like:

1. Time Management (detailed construction time schedule)
2. Resource Utilization (develop cost and resource loading)
3. Labor Management (monitor the productivity)
4. Procurement (develop materials tracking log and monitor the progress)
5. Shop drawings (develop shop drawings tracking log and monitor the progress)
6. Progress Reporting (different reports for different project team members)

The scope of this project is not limited to the improvement of these capacities only but tries to extend its reach and benefits to as a great extent as possible. Since the core aim of this course is to help planning engineers enhance their planning and management skills in relation to handling and carrying out projects, the focus will be on a smart techniques and tools to perform regular tasks much more faster and accurate.

Course Content:

The study material for this course has been developed with the help of a knowledgeable planning and control manager with 14 years of firsthand experience of project management. This practical experience comprises of project management of high end, mega scale projects. Moreover, the course instructor has gained his degree in management of construction projects and infrastructure from the Liverpool University, United Kingdom. Our aim is to provide planning engineers with the best course content which will help them learn valuable planning techniques and gain the right skillset.

This course has been carefully formulated, keeping in mind the end goal of any engineer willing to enroll this course: To gain a skillset which is applicable in the real construction projects. Since corporate sectors are growing all over the world, the need for efficient and effective project planning engineers is rising at a pace faster than ever before. In order to cope up with this demand, this course has been developed.

The course does not bound trainees to study week-by-week, but rather provides all the course material in the beginning. This allows more freedom for the trainees, enabling them to plan the pace and amount of studying as per their will. The course does not aim at only trainees willing to gain knowledge about construction planning and project management but has also given regard to project managers and other relevant corporate entities which are willing to improve their planning and project management skills.

The project development plan is to help instill the concepts of the course into the minds of the trainees. We do not aim to just cram information into the minds of the trainees, we aim to empower them and provide them with all the relevant tools, applications, and knowledge which will help them excel in their career.
