Applied Project Control training is the best training program that I have seen for the project controls industry. I believe this is very valuable for individuals who are entering the in project control arena and project controllers who would like to further their understanding of planning and cost control.

Mohd Jasim, PSP
EPC Planner & Coordinator, United Kingdom

Applied Project Control training is one of the best courses I have ever done on Project Controls, which covers all aspects in-depth, and I am sure this will help me to perform better on my job hereafter.

Arturo “Art” M. Tactay
Senior EPC Project Manager, California, USA

We would like to thank you very much for a very good Project Controls Essentials Training. It’s very refreshing and interesting, and really thought us a lot to review and implement more the value of planning ahead using better WBS, schedule & cost on our projects, and involving our teams more during this process.

And most importantly, making us realize again the true meaning and value of learning and appreciating the PV, AC, EV, BAC, CV, SV, SPI, CPI, EAC, ETC, VAC methodologies & calculations to use it even more in our project controls, monitoring and forecasting.

Not that we don’t know of and use these before, but now, after these sessions from you, we tend to realize and appreciate better the true importance and value of these methodologies and process which can really help us in all of our project controls, monitoring and forecasting processes moving forward. Thank you very much for a job well done!

Rajesh Kandanala, M.Sc., PMP
Project Controls, Canada

In my 15 years of experience in Project Controls, I came across various training books and tools but nothing compares to Project Control Academy’s training videos. It is very clear, concise and packs a ton of information in its 7 modules. It takes years to understand and master the concepts of project control; however, Shohreh has done a great job in presenting these complex concepts in easy to understand the step-by-step process. This is probably the most accurate and fastest way to become a “Project Control Professional

Feria Vaziri
Planning Engineer, Australia

After 10 years of experience in Improvement Projects, Project Controls, Shutdowns, Constructions, commissioning and cost planning, I still could find lots of valuable planning concepts and tools in the Applied Project Controls training. This training is an integrated package that could answer lots of the questions which I face in my practical experience. I could pick up helpful tips and tools form this program. I’m very happy with the systematic approach that is used in this step by step package. I recommend this training to all Planners and users in every level of work experience as this training proved to be so useful for users in all levels of expertise. Thank- you so much for developing this valuable package

The Applied Project Control training was a very effective course. Content and delivery were of excellent quality. I feel my team has been given the knowledge to launch our program to the next level

Pamela DeGraaf
Project Services Manager

Stantec Consulting took the Applied Project Controls in-house training course for the following reasons:

• To provide a stepping stone for the junior and intermediate staff to discover the various components of Project Controls and how all the pieces work together.
• To bring the different disciplines together to provide a common ground, speak the same language.

On both those fronts the course did just that.

Dr. Sami Fahmy
CEO of Performance Excellence Institute International, Former President of PMI NAC , Canada

The Applied Project Control course is well designed, skillfully illustrated and presented. The simple yet colorful and creative slides enhance the students’ learning ability and aid in understanding and memorizing it. The examples used are simple yet practical and easy to understand. The explanation of the course material is very good. Overall the course is excellent, compared to other courses I have seen, I find it much higher quality than many. I enjoyed the modules I reviewed.

Scott Porter
Enjoyed the Project Control Summit

Although I didn’t get a chance to listen to all the presenters throughout all four days, I tried to check out as much as I could in between meetings. I enjoyed listening to the interesting topics being discussed each day. There were two speakers in particular that caught my eye – Chris Carson and Walter Lipke. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Chris Carson and the group he put together on the last day of the conference. I wish they could have had more time to speak. I learned a great deal from this presentation.

I am looking forward to next years Project Control Summit.

Thank you,

Scott Porter

Maris Balodis

Thanks for the work you did put into organizing this event.
I will go through all recordings in near future and from what I have seen already, the money was well spent.
Thing considers for improvement:
1) workshop in schedule development, claim showing in the schedule, the main thing to check to develop a reliable schedule
2) Job affairs, where participants can share if their companies have open vacancies.

Project Control Summit

The summit was perfect, it was well organized and lots of information shared.

Testimonials for the Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis Training Program

Ahmed Al-Shaer
Planning Manager

It was not easy decision to go with the course from multi offered courses for delay analysis from different organizations.

Two main factors were the driving for me to go with this course:

1st one is that the instructor is Mr. Chris Carson who has a very long experience in this subject, in addition, Mr. Chris is developing many publications for AACE International related to delay analysis & scheduling.

The 2nd factor is this course aligned with AACEI’s Recommended Practice 29R-03 which rarely to find it with other similar courses.

I’m really excited from the experience I gained from this course especially with two case studies applied through Claims Triage Techniq

James Tompkins

Excellent expert knowledge and practical solutions. Well taught and documented. Highly recommended

Vijayarengan Chockalingam
Manager Project Control & Contracts

Good opportunity to learn this Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis course, an absolute fulfillment on AACE’s RP 29R-03 studies. Literally, we have been pre-occupied for a period of time during this travel with Chris Carson, amazing and great professional experience.

Significant eye opener on know how about the methodologies, like to remember “knowledge can not be given, it has to be taken”, perhaps we have been given by Mr.Chris and like to thank Shohreh as well for this learning opportunity to study, implement and practice. The claim triage technique is really awesome.

Like to add an acknowledge, to whom you are real thirst to learn about delay analysis and this is the best opportunity to indulge with and to move forward.

I learned far more than I had anticipated from this course and it will take a long time and much re-reading to absorb all the material that was presented. Excellent Course!! Well worth the cost. Thanks again Chris and Shohreh

Hans du Toit
Costing and Planning Manager, South Africa

Forensic Schedule Analysis is a fairly new concept in the broader South African environment with not many experts to rub shoulders with. Despite my searches locally, and internationally, I did not find any hands-on training or mentoring in this environment.

Thankfully I came across AACE International whom had published the recommended practice for Forensic Schedule Analysis (RP 29R-03). However I, like many others, had to struggle through the RP by myself in an attempt to master the concepts . I must say that the RP was very intimidating to me and I found it difficult to truly grasp the concepts.

Great was my excitement when I noticed that this course was going to be presented by a person whom has not only participated in formulating the RP, but whom I have come to respect based on his involvement in just about every sphere of Project Controls and specifically Forensic Schedule Analysis.

I may have learned a little late in my life that, if you want to become the best you can at what you do, you have to invest in yourself. I had a difficult decision as, given the ROE, this course was going to cost me a fair amount of South African Rands that I would have to fork out of my own pocket.

Today I can say with confidence that it was money well spent for not only has Chris opened my eyes to properly understand the RP but he has shared intricate knowledge and experience that any other course will find hard to match. Chris shares some of the best advice and personally developed tricks that are jaw dropping.

I must also say that the platform and the delivery method of this course really made me realise that classroom training is not necessarily a key requirement to be able to engage with the tutor. There is ample opportunity to engage through on-line questions and Chris has been very thorough in his responses. Despite the odd technical glitch, as is to be expected when one relies on internet service providers, I commend Shohreh and the Project Control Academy team on a very pleasurable learning experience.

Having done this course I am not yet a Forensic Schedule Analysis expert, but it has put me on course to become such an expert, if I will continue to yield to the expert guidance Chris has provided in this training.
 

 

Bruce GreeSon
Senior Project Scheduler, USA

I recommend this course to clients, contractors, and those who want to learn more about delay analyses to enhance your knowledge, career, or to become an expert in the forensic schedule delay analysis. Prior to this course, the best way to learn delay analysis was to work directly for an attorney, and or a contracts manager, or from a consulting firm with a staff attorney specializing in claims

Trish Pulver
Senior Project Analyst, USA

Excellent Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis class. It was very comprehensive and covered a wide array of topics. The icing on the cake throughout the entire class was Chris Carson sharing lessons learned from his 40+ year career. Thank you!

Rafael Socarrás

The information provided in the course sets the principles for analyzing delays and its causation in accordance with good engineering practices (AACE® International Recommended Practice No. 29R‐03). I highly appreciate all lessons and knowledge shared by Chris Carson and the great coordination of the sessions made by Shohreh Ghorbani. This training is a great contribution for the construction community. Highly suggested.

Syed Elli
Lead Planning Engineer, Qatar

I would like to thank Shohreh and especially Chris Carson for conducting such a knowledgeable and myth clearing course. I am happy that I am part of this endeavor. The first thing is that in 95% cases a person won’t find this course or even a similar course on the Internet and getting something from a mentor and authority like Chris is my luck and admiration for him. As a professional working in the field, I must say that this course clear many myths for me and that makes this course very important for advanced level students or knowledge seekers. The most mesmerizing of all was the Expert Witness session. At the end the cost-benefit ratio for this course is 100%, it’s a must do training for all the Planners, Cost Professionals, Claim Personals, Delay Analysts etc.

Gajendiran Govindaswamy
Senior Planning Engineer, Dubai

I have 20+ years experience with the Main Contractor and now for 2+ years with the Lead Consultant, specifically in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, with the majority of my experience in Programming, Scheduling and Delay Analysis reports.

I see this course is really useful and has got lots of insights which the Planners should certainly learn. After reading the contents of the course materials, I’m able to improve my thinking process in analyzing the delays, and particularly the selection of right methodology of ‘delay analysis’ for the given circumstances.

THANK YOU one and all for this very valuable course, which filled in the gaps in my knowledge and clarified various doubts I had in ‘forensic schedule delay analysis’.

All the very best to the team…

Husni Madi
Founder

Frankly, I was very hesitant to register for this course. The reason was that I am already a Forensic Schedule Delay Analyst with some good experience and cases under my belt, where I feared that this course will not add much to me.

Nevertheless, what encouraged me to register is that this course is delivered by Chris Carson, a thought leader in the industry and one of the drafters of AACE’s RP 29R-03.

After taking the course, I can confidently say that my fears were completely unfounded and I have extremely benefited from this course beyond what I have imagined.

Not only he shared his vast knowledge and know how on the subject, but Chris was extremely generous in sharing lessons learned from his 40+ years of experience. coupled with Shohreh’s support and a second to none platform this course, in my opinion, is the best in the market. I cannot over emphasis the value for money of this course.

Shohreh and Chris, I cannot thank you enough for this splendid course and for what you are doing for the industry.

Maria C. Alvarado Herrera
Project Control Specialist, Netherlands

This Forensic Delay Analysis course has been an enriching experience, a training process that has added a great earned value to my professional development.

The structure of the course, based on the AACEI’s Recommended Practice 29R-03 has been perfect, covering all the subjects of this practice and clarifying any possible doubts that the participant may have.

The facilitator, Mr. Chris Carson is excellent with a vast experience in the subject; every word he has said during the course is pure knowledge. His explanations are clear and concise; the material annexed to each module enriches and solidifies the content of the course even more.

The online classes allow students to participate and interact directly with Mr. Chris Carson; and also remarkable that having an excellent platform with the possibility of accessing the videos at any time and from anywhere is a huge advantage for people like me who have limited time and to whom the time difference does not allow us to participate in the live sessions.

It has been a pleasant experience and I recommend it 100%.

Ferdinand Ancheta

Excellent Training! It was inspirational, motivating, innovating, brought best ideas and in-depth knowledge together with case studies! I would recommend this training course to anyone in the field of project planning/scheduling/project controls.

Ernesto Montales
Director / Project Planning & Project Controls Consultant

I was looking to enhance my knowledge of Delay Analysis for some time now but I didn’t find anything offered in the market now worth taking until I came across Project Controls Academy offering a free Webinar on Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis by Chris Carson. I have known Chris for quite some time now, I always follow his recorded webinar on Planning & Scheduling and had the pleasure of meeting him personally at the Planning Planet event in London many years back.

When I learned he is doing a full course on Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis, and plus a good offer from Project Controls Academy I didn’t hesitate to enroll, and I can say this was my best online training so far! Chris gave a very detailed explanation on the topics on a very deep manner not just on the academic side of this but his 40’s of experience which I can say can’t be found on any training course. It opened my eyes on AACE’s RP 29R-03, which is the must-have reference. The course is truly value for money!

I also would like to acknowledge Shohreh for her encouragement and outstanding support, 24/7. Whenever I have some issues she’s is always there happy to help, even on weekends.

Shohreh and Chris, words cannot express enough my gratitude, and I look forward to applying what I have learned in my current and future projects.

Steve Paterson

Being a seasoned professional I have indirectly known the facilitator Mr. Chris Carson for a good number of years and was delighted to sign-up for the Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis course having missed the opportunity the first time around.

I embarked on the course to broaden my knowledge on the forensics side of the schedule, as I’m an independent consultant that regularly reviews Contractor and Sub-contractor schedules in the Oil and Gas Industry. The course was an in-depth look at the AACEi’s RP and how the Claims Triage Workshop assists in selecting the correct methodology for a particular case. I found it very interesting and followed with ease.

Many thanks for pulling together such an interesting course and I look forward to putting what I learned to good use very soon.

Ahmed Fouad Abdulhamid

One of the best courses I had ever attended in my practical life, it gathers all of the professional experience and secrets of planning career in a set of sessions, where I never imagined that there is a course that contains such a lot of valuable priceless information that resembles real-life cases and problems in planning career.

I participated recently in two delay claims where my company hired a large consulting agency in the USA for doing the job that was done using the same steps mentioned in the course.

I will definitely recommend this course to my company to be taken by all lead planners and for me sure will take again every period of time to keep this information fresh in mind.

Manoj Pradhan

Being a member of AACE International, I had prior access to the RP 29R-03, but it is through this course, that I got a fairly good insight into the Forensic Schedule Delay Analysis concept.

Major take away of the course is the Claim Triage concept & knowledge shared by Chris Carson form his enriching experiences.

Marina Chernova

Very professional.
I liked information presented logically and shortly, with lots of useful tips and examples.
Provided articles for each session help to crystalize understanding of the subject.
The room for improvement can be in providing full reports as examples for popular methods if it’s not confidential.

What an amazing journey this has been!

Listening to Chris Carson going through the Forensic Schedule Analysis RP while also sharing so generously his lifetime experience was uplifting.

The course is very well paced, and the complimentary material shared by Chris is extremely relevant. The effort put in preparing and delivering the course is palpable and the detail of his answers to the numerous questions raised by the participants is beyond expectations.

A course highly recommended not only for Claims specialists, but also for any Project Controls professionals committed to preventing schedule-related claims.

The Forensic Schedule Analysis Course by Mr. Chris Carson was very helpful in better understanding the basics and applications of the Recommended Practice. Mr. Carson’s wide experience and knowledge of the topic proved invaluable throughout this course.

The course was an eye-opener on some issues I missed in past claims and I do believe the learnings from this course will add great value to my claims in the future.

Many thanks to Chris and the Project Controls Academy team and colleagues and all the best in the future.

The BEST of all other courses that I undertook so far on the Forensic Schedule Analysis subject. It has been a fantastic learning experience from one of the best world-class practitioners on the subject. Actually, it has had a great impact on my usual view on ‘Observational’ methods as I always regarded retrospective TIA (MIP 3.7) as ‘THE optimum method’ until I started getting deeper learning in this course particularly of MIP 3.4 and 3.3. The claims-triage sessions were the most attractive for me next to step-by-step learning of all nine MIPs. Thank you for this excellent course.

I would like to extend a big THANK YOU for offering this course. You did made our lives (scheduling and project controls professionals) far easier and gave us hope that the forensic schedule analysis is not black magic:) You laid out a process for us to follow, supplied adequate specific material and this is something that I am grateful for and I am sure other project controls professionals feel the same way.

Sessions were developed and arranged in very natural way to give knowhow and practical knowledge of that high value and complex topic of forensic delay analysis from A-Z.

The course is very detailed and practical. Personally, I have learnt a lot from this course and have already started applying concepts learnt successfully in my day-to-day work.

I believe every word said by Chris is Gold dust. Would admit it took a lot of time and commitment to complete the training, however, it’s worth all the time and money spent.

Quantitively speaking very easily the value gain from the course is at least ten times more for me the money and time spent.

Amazing course, lot of new things to learn, wealth of experience and knowledge shared. Very well designed. Already started implementation of techniques and templates learned during this course in our reports. I believe the BESTtraining in the market. Thank you.

It is extensive, technically well designed, fastidiously picked and uploaded articles -belong to top professors and practitioner in construction and project management area. Shared experience and deep knowledge of the instructor collected over decades! It is my personnel opinion that this course should be equivalent to 30 credit points in a master’s degree in Project Management area.

Many many thanks to Project Control Academy team is for providing this course for us. Many many thanks to Chris Carson for his effort, for his purpose, and sharing his knowledge and experience with us.

Many thanks to the entire team at Project Control Academy, and especially Chris and Shohreh for developing and offering an Excellent training program on Forensic Schedule Analysis.

The content and presentation of this course was TOP NOTCH, and I consider it just about the BEST education I’ve received in decades!

From the first couple of sessions, I began applying the knowledge and lessons learned in my role as a construction manager for an AE/CEI firm. Now that I’ve completed the course, I feel like I’m on a new and exciting career trajectory that I’ve been wanting for years.

Thanks to Chris and Shohreh, I feel empowered with a knowledge base that I can continue to build on and really contribute to the world of FSA. I just can’t thank you both enough. I look forward to more Project Controls courses.

Its great experience to know in-depth knowledge of FSA methods and its practical implementation techniques. In current role(am not delay expert), while analyzing prospective variation/delay claims by contractors, I would be extensively using few claim triage techniques and as well be going to be able to better review schedules for owners and manage schedules for contractors. Thank you for this great course.

I wish to express my gratitude for sharing your expertise and experience in this course. Even though Project controls and Analysis is a fairly “new” and equivocal field for construction projects in most countries, having the backing of this most informative and educationally supportive environment and training has given me the confidence to be able to further implement a greater understanding for the necessity for Project Control implementations and the confidence in providing a strong and stout analytical result for such requirements. This has also further broadened my opportunities to include sound and tested methodologies, for both, “on-the-job” and “post-job” analysis.

There has been a significant effort spent on the course preparation and delivery and I believe it is one of the BEST INVESTMENTS that I have made into online tuition.
There has been a significant effort spent on the course preparation and delivery and I believe it is one of the BEST INVESTMENTS that I have made into online tuition.

The course has presented me with a number of benefits. The ‘cloak of confusion’ around the type of methodology to use and the multiple names of these methodology has been removed. The language in RP 29R-03 is clear, simple and easy to understand. Being a UK type of education and experience person, I have only been aware of the SCL DDL until now and it is very beneficial to me to see this RP.

In addition to the case study deliverables and workshop, the supporting documents that show the worked examples on each MIP allows one to clearly see and understand how these analyses are developed. Just the capacity to have retained and recorded all of these lessons is no mean feat. Thank you very much.

I would like to thank you for such tremendous efforts providing an in-depth learning journey in Delay Analysis field. Before I took this course, I didn’t have much understanding about FDA techniques or its practical implementations, as there are certain predefined methods used without a clear or structured approach on how to use them.

Thanks to the great explanations and expertise received from this course, I can say that I have a strong foundation to build on in my career in FDA, and to deal with claims with confidence as every word in this course was an added value to me, which I will keep adding on learning and reviewing its material to improve my skills in this challenging but interesting field.

During this training, my project control approach has been changed and evolved into a higher step. This training became a transformer and gear changer in my career.

Many thanks for this great course. The Course is of very high quality although it is an online course. It covers almost everything in delay analysis. Although I am not a delay analyst, at the end of the course, I found myself very knowledgeable about the delay analysis and its methodologies and I am able to argue with opposition delay analysts about the methodologies used for the analyses.

This is an extremely valuable course for any scheduler. Even if I have no plans to go into forensic scheduling, the information presented and explained in this course will absolutely help me with my planning and scheduling.
Having the processes explained and the expansion of their use from real cases really helped drive home the reasons for the processes/methodologies and helped me understand how they are actually implemented.

Testimonials for the EVM in P6 Training Program

Petyon Green
Project Scheduler

I just signed my official offer letter with *** Solutions … as a Project Scheduler to schedule capital projects. I want to thank you for giving me a game plan to have the confidence to hit the ground running when I get there using Earned Value in P6. I start on September 4th, and will be ready to go as soon as I arrive. My plan is to show them that I am not a Mutt right away and take the bull by the horns

Clarence Brown
Project Controls

What I learned with Advanced Planning Analytics has propelled me into deploying advance functions like Earned Value using Primavera. This is one of the best courses that I have taken. Definitely worth it.

Charlotte Weiss
CEO

This was worth the investment, as I paid for it personally for my own development. I’ve been planning for 15 years in EV specific programs as a consultant, and have had great success configuring EV in both Open Plan and Microsoft Project. With that said, during this training, I actually had just started working in a Primavera EV system. This will be my first opportunity to make EV work in Primavera for a $300M project. The lessons from this training will be invaluable!

Samantha McCulloch

Anyone who has prior experience in P6 & EVM can think it is a cakewalk, however, it is not, we need to pay close attention in P6 EVM settings. This course provides best recommended settings which is the positive outcome of the course.

Very informative, practical training on the use of EVM in P6.
An excellent instructor who was able to easily explain the course materiel and share his vast knowledge of the subject matter.

The course provided an excellent insight into another dimension of P6 for effective use of EVM.The quality was excellent, as it was based on a live example.

P6 setting with the checklist, the layouts, the global change functions and finally the bonus materials will be of immense help to me, as I will be using all those tools practically in my own professional work to add value to my work product.

Hats off to the instructor for his knowledge in P6 with all its intricacies.

The course is very informative. I learned a lot.The most valuable part of this course for me is the complete EVM report template on how to represent that to the Client.
I’m excited to apply all the templates and techniques shared to my new project. I really enjoy this course.

The EVM in P6 course is very effective course. I learned a lot of new things, especially the logic behind some of the functions. I will begin to use the templates shared in the course and apply EVM in all projects whether the client requests for it or not.

The Course is very effective. It added new valuable information to me. The instructor is highly qualified in his specialty of EVM in P6. The overall feedback, I am impressed. Thank you.

The EVM in P6 was a very effective course in that it allowed very much hands on user interaction and the quality was very good.

The parts of the training I found most valuable was in the case studies. It gave me an opportunity to practice real life situations that I could relate to in the process.

The Quality of the course was excellent. It was really nice to have all the content and see it applied in a real live project, then to work it on our own.

The instructor is very knowledgeable and very experienced. I have several practical things I have taken back to my work place already. Thank you.
