Real instructions, revised drawings and site constraints land in your inbox. You build the programme, notify the change and defend your critical path, and a demanding client keeps reviewing it until you get it right.
“Your draindown goes in after the base slab. How are you laying a pipe under concrete you've already poured?”
Built by a seasoned lead senior project planner from live UK water and infrastructure frameworks. Every lesson ends with something you build, submit and defend.
A guided path from what a programme actually is, through three software packages, to NEC change management and reporting. One project carries all the way through, just like a real job.
No hours of slides. You build real programmes from lesson one.
Instructions, revised drawings and site emails, exactly as they arrive on a live scheme.
Submit your work and an AI client reviews it like a real project manager would. Fix it, resubmit, and go again until it holds up.
Learn the planning thinking once, then apply it in the package your employer actually uses.
Monthly, with no long contract. Stop when you're job-ready, or keep PlanSurf as your planning reference once you've landed the role.
An email, a formal instruction and a revised drawing. Some are formal and some aren't. Reading them properly is part of the test.
Compare Rev A with Rev B, list additions and omissions, and update the programme against the baseline.
Your programme, your notice and your critical path explanation are checked for logic, durations and Key Dates.
Answer the comments, fix the logic and go again. You pass when it's right, not when the video ends.
The designer has lowered a draindown pipe 880mm below the blinding. Now you need a trial hole in a live tanker road and sheet piles at nearly 5m. One change arrives as a formal instruction, the other only as an email. Spot the difference, rebuild the programme and tell the client what it does to the Key Date.

Key Date KD2 is Fri 26 Feb. With only two days of float, what happens once the pipe goes under the slab?
New to planning, or moving across from site? A short placement task decides where you start.
Start at the foundations: what a programme is, activities and logic, float and the critical path. Then move into the software with real confidence.
Build a real mini-programme in the placement task. Pass it and you skip straight to the software and NEC change work you haven't done yet.
Pay monthly and cancel any time. Most learners are job-ready in around six months.
See exactly how PlanSurf works before you pay anything.
Cancel any time.
You've landed the job. Stay sharp.
For contractors training graduates and site engineers.
Everything in Planner Path, for good, with priority reviews and a portfolio to show employers. It works out cheaper than about 20 months of Planner Path.
Compare PlanSurf Teams with sending each person on a three-day classroom P6 Fundamentals course.
Classroom figure based on a published 3-day Primavera P6 Fundamentals course at £1,575 per person, excluding VAT, travel and time off site.
For the software tracks, yes. Each track tells you how to get a trial or student licence. Foundations and the scenario work can be done without any software.
You submit your programme, your notice and your explanations. The client reviewer checks them against the scenario's marking guide (logic, durations, critical path, Key Dates, contract route) and replies the way a real project manager would. You fix and resubmit until it passes.
No. Take the placement task. Pass it and you go straight to the software and NEC change modules.
They're based on the kinds of situations that happen on real UK water and infrastructure schemes. Every project, company, person and drawing in them is fictional.
Every scenario has a built-in glossary. Tap any underlined term for a plain-English definition, or open the Glossary button to search them all.
Yes, any time. Monthly plans have no minimum term. When you're job-ready, you can stop or move to Alumni for £15 a month. Or skip subscriptions entirely with Lifetime access for a one-off £1,000.
