WBS Academy | Training

Each lesson explains one idea, shows it on a real network, then hands it to you. You make the change in the lab, the schedule recalculates, and the lab checks your work.

The lab is a scheduler built for teaching. There is no virtual machine to book, nothing to install and no access window: it runs in your browser and keeps your work there. It follows the same Critical Path Method that Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project use, so what you learn carries straight over.

How a lesson works

Read it, see it, do it, check it

  1. Concept

    A short explanation with a worked example, written for people who have to use it on Monday.

  2. Demo

    The same idea on a real network, with the calculation shown step by step.

  3. Lab

    Your turn. Change logic, durations and lags; the lab checks each task as you go.

  4. Review

    Questions at the end of each lesson, and a knowledge check to finish the course.
