Hello Pui,

As Mike said you need Field Experience which will make you much better. There you will come to know what is done , how it is done, what problem we would have when doing it and how to resolve it.

When you get into field then only you would come to know of the issues then you will try to find the answers.

Regarding Qualification - Most of the Companies ask for a Engineering Degree in Chemical, Mechanical , E & I.

The only two qualifications that matter at present are the PMI-SP and AACEi's PSP.  The Panning Planr Guild is still a short way off.

The certification with the least experience requirements is PMI-SP. the requirements are: 

  • Three to five years of project scheduling experience, and 
  • A minimum of 3,500 hours of unique, non-overlapping experience** within project scheduling, and
  • 30 contact hours of formal education.

None of the certifications are focused on 'playing with software' - they all in different ways look at the way planners and schedulers can contribute to project success.  For more on the PMI-SP see: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Training-Planning.html

Hi Pui

To be a construction planner you have to know how to build things - otherwise you are a scheduler putting someone elses plan into the software.

Therefore get out on site as much as you can - learn the processes - ask questions - get some mud on your boots.

Your first step is to join the Guild of Project Controls and work your way up through the grades.

Best regards
