Hi Ayisha/All
I'm not sure if this will be much help, but I've just started in a new role within planning / project controls and I'm being put through my ECITB Certificate in Project Controls. It's an introductory course and it lasts 9 months. I just started it in September.
My company have a very detailed training plan set out over a number of years so for example next year I'll be starting my VQ. The VQ can be split into the individual parts of project controls.....planning, estimating, costing etc. You can do these individually if there is an area of project controls you are wishing to specialise in or you can cover the modules for all areas of project controls.
Like I mentioned I'm very new into a project controls role but hope this is of use.

Hi Aijaz
Other than that the most essential requirement is to know and understand what is actually happening at the work sites.
A daily walk around taking in all activities is the minimum requirement - then ask about anything unusual or what you do not understand.
Try to see every worker with a big dollar sign on his helmet and every truck with a dozen dollar flags on its roof - keep asking yourself if they are actually earning any money because that is the ONLY reason they (and you) are on the site at all.

Dear Mike
What are the Basic things that a Project Control Engineer has to be aware of like...
I mean Project Control Engineer shud be aware of Scope of Work, Project Status Update, Manpower Requirement Onsite, Procurement Material Status, Machines Equipment Requirement, Critical Activities, Indepedent and dependent activities, Weekly Progress status with reference to planned progress etc.,
Other than this what is his responsibilities????
Hi Ayisha
I think you will find that no company has any formal training programme for project control engineers.
What happens is that young graduates get fed into the bottom of the system and how far they rise depends on their own skill and enthusiasm.
Plus of course how much demand is required in the industry at any particular time.
I started as a tea boy in a builders office but was allowed a day release and evenings to study for my HNC and then CIOB.
That was 45 years ago when a university degree was only for Architects and Engineers.
