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.
