Features video lessons, case studies, practical applications, downloadable course texts and checklists

What you’ll learn
– Understand how experienced planners and schedulers develop, monitor, and control construction timelines from pre-construction to project turnover.
– Gain hands-on knowledge of scheduling methods, including work breakdown structures (WBS), critical path method (CPM), resource loading, and progress tracking us
– Apply practical scheduling techniques through case studies that highlight common delays, design changes, resource issues, and site challenges.
– Identify, analyze, and manage schedule risks using proven tools, look-ahead planning, and monitoring processes to keep projects on time.

Requirements
– No experience needed-just a willingness to learn and an interest in managing real construction schedules.

Description
Through detailed case studies, step-by-step examples, checklists, and downloadable course materials, you will understand how schedule management works on actual construction projects. You will gain hands-on experience in developing baseline schedules, updating progress, identifying critical paths, forecasting delays, and preparing recovery or acceleration plans. The lessons are structured to guide you through the entire process of planning and controlling schedules, showing the techniques and decisions that keep projects on time.

No prior experience is required-only a willingness to learn and an interest in understanding how real construction schedules are planned and controlled. By the end of the course, you will be able to create schedules, monitor progress, identify delays early, and confidently help keep projects on track, using the practical tools, templates, and checklists included in the course.

Who this course is for:
– New graduates in civil engineering, architecture, or construction management who want to build a strong foundation in project scheduling.
– Beginner project engineers or site engineers who want to understand how schedules are created, monitored, and controlled on real job sites.
– Aspiring construction project managers who want clear, step-by-step guidance on planning and managing project timelines.
– Practicing project managers who want to refresh, update, or strengthen their scheduling knowledge and techniques.
– Construction professionals (foremen, supervisors, coordinators) who want to better understand project sequencing, work planning, and schedule impacts.
– Freelancers or contractors managing small-to-medium construction projects who need practical scheduling tools to avoid delays.
