APP Academy
From software proficiency to project delivery capability
APP Academy develops practical capability in project management, project controls, digital delivery and the technologies used to operate them.
Our instructor-led and customised programmes connect software knowledge with real project processes, governance requirements and delivery decisions. Training is available for individuals, project teams and organisations, delivered online, in person or through workshops structured around live project environments.
Planning & Project Controls
Scheduling and controls, taught on the platforms the contract actually runs on.
Primavera P6 & Primavera Cloud Training
EPS and WBS structure, coding standards, calendars, baselines, progress and reporting in P6 EPPM — and the combined office-and-field planning model in Primavera Cloud. Oracle products →
Microsoft Project & Planner Training
Scheduling in Microsoft Project, and task and team planning in Planner — the home Microsoft has moved Project for the web into.
Asta Powerproject Training
Building a construction programme from task pools and code libraries, resource and cost planning, progress from site, and 4D BIM sequencing. Asta Powerproject →
Deltek Acumen Training
Schedule quality diagnostics in Acumen Fuse, quantitative cost and schedule risk in Acumen Risk, and submission assurance in Acumen Touchstone. Deltek products →
Linear Planning Training
Time-location and time-chainage planning for roads, railways, pipelines and tunnels — where the constraint is access and sequence along the route rather than dates alone. Includes TILOS. Tilos →
CPM, Lean and 4D Planning
Critical path method, lean and last-planner practice, and model-based sequencing taught as methods — transferable to whichever tool the project uses. Planning & controls services →
Digital Delivery & Information Management
How project information is produced, controlled, approved and handed over.
Oracle Aconex Training
Common data environment setup, document control and version management, approval workflows, correspondence with audit trail, and model coordination. Oracle Aconex →
Procore Training
Project management, quality and field workflows in Procore, taught around the client’s own processes rather than a generic tour of the interface.
BIM & CDE Workflows
Information management to ISO 19650: information requirements, the states a container passes through, gateway checks and approvals — the part that decides whether a CDE works. BIM Management →
Asset Information & Digital Twin
COBie, asset data collection and validation, digital handover and the operational integration that follows. Asset Information & Handover →
Document Control & Information Management
Numbering and revision discipline, transmittals, distribution and the audit trail a claim depends on two years later. Document Management & CDE →
Project Management & Professional Skills
The competence the tools serve. These programmes follow APP’s own delivery methods and can be run against a live project.
Project Management Fundamentals
Scope, schedule, cost, risk and reporting as one system — for people moving into project roles or formalizing what they already do. PM consultancy →
Cost Management and Forecasting
Cost breakdown, commitment and accrual, earned value, and forecasting that survives review. Cost Management →
Risk Management and Analysis
Risk identification and register discipline, qualitative assessment, and quantitative cost and schedule risk analysis. Risk Management →
Delay Analysis and Claims
Delay analysis methods, records and entitlement, and the evidence an expert report is built from. Delay Analysis & Claims →
PMO and Management Reporting
Setting up a PMO that reports rather than collects: cadence, thresholds, dashboards and the escalation path. PMO Design & Management →
Document Management and CDE
Procedures, roles and approval routes behind a common data environment — before any software is chosen. Document Management →
BIM Management and Digital Delivery
The BIM execution plan, information delivery planning, coordination and model quality control. BIM Management →
Asset Information and Handover
Information requirements through to a handover the operator accepts. Asset Information →
Training Designed Around Your Project Environment
We develop role-based training programmes around each organisation’s processes, systems and project delivery requirements. Courses may incorporate live project scenarios, agreed workflows, practical exercises, competency assessments and post-training adoption guidance.
How training is delivered
- Instructor-led online training
- Classroom training
- Private team programmes
- Project-based workshops
- Role-based learning paths
- Customised corporate programmes
A typical corporate engagement starts from the role, not the software: what this person has to decide, what evidence they need to decide it, and which parts of the toolset produce that evidence. The tool is taught in that order.
Certification
Participants receive a Certificate of Completion from APP. Our courses are training programmes, not vendor certification: where a software publisher runs its own certification — Procore, for example — that credential is earned through the publisher, and we prepare people for it rather than issue it.
