Questions and answers
Does course provide access to the program? Or it needs to be purchased by me?
Answer:Access to P6 is not included in the course price. P6 sofware may be downloaded from the Oracle eDelivery website, unfortunately I am not able to paste the url. You will need to read the terms and conditions but it is my understanding that you may use it for 30 days for evaluation purposes withoout buying a license. Instructions are included in the download but you may find it simpler to follow a YouTube video.
This was helpful.What is the time access - lifetime?
Answer:I am the course author and do not set the terms and conditions but I could not find this information on their website. I have sent an email to my contact at Reed and they have told me it is for life.
