Management Training Courses

The Advanced Work Packaging (AWP) and WorkFace Planning (WFP) Training Program is a comprehensive course designed to transform project planning and execution practices across the construction lifecycle. The course introduces a disciplined, best‐practice approach that enhances project performance, predictability, and overall outcomes through early construction involvement, modularization, and detailed work packaging strategies.

Participants will explore a wide range of topics—from the historical evolution of work packaging to modern techniques in scheduling, cost control, risk management, and change management. The training emphasizes the importance of aligning engineering, procurement, and construction efforts, and it provides practical templates and case studies to illustrate the tangible benefits of implementing AWP and WFP.

📌 Key Learning Modules:

• Module 1: History and Fundamentals: Explore the evolution of AWP and WFP, key milestone achievements, and the foundational principles that have shaped best practices in the industry.
• Module 2: Early Construction Involvement: Understand why early construction input is critical for effective project planning, risk mitigation, and cost control.
• Module 3: Early Construction Services: Learn about scope definition, constructability reviews, and the development of fabrication and modularization strategies.
• Module 4: Modularization and Fabrication: Dive into the strategic approach for off-site construction and the benefits of modularization in reducing on-site work.
• Module 5: Bulk Construction Transition: Analyze the shift from bulk construction to system completion and the critical factors involved in commissioning and start-up.
• Modules 7–11: Gain in-depth insights into knowledge-based scheduling, cost management, risk and contingency planning, change management, and Earned Value Management fundamentals.
• Module 12: Advanced Work Packaging and WorkFace Planning: Learn to structure Construction Work Areas, Work Packages, and Installation Work Packages, ensuring alignment with the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS).
• Modules 13 & 14: Discover practical strategies for assembling and executing Installation Work Packages (IWPs) using standardized templates and guidelines.
• Module 15: COAA Forum Summary: Review real-world case studies, lessons learned, and benefits such as improved productivity, cost savings, and enhanced schedule performance.
