Virtual Workplace
A working day, simulated
Once a week you work a simulated day at a company for this role: read the handover, then work through the tickets. The company and the colleagues are simulated, so mistakes are safe.

Questions
Quick answers
What does a project planning intern do?
You plan a simulated substation upgrade: a one-page plan summary, a WBS and activity list, a network with the critical path worked by hand, and durations on the right calendars. Later weeks add resource and cost loading, earned value, a delay note with a look-ahead, and a checked, baselined schedule.
Can I learn Primavera P6 scheduling without a licence?
You learn the method, which is the same in any scheduler, using a spreadsheet or the free ProjectLibre. Primavera P6 is named because planners use it, and if you already have it you can build the last schedule in it. You do not need it to finish.
Can civil engineering students do a project planning internship?
Yes. It suits civil, mechanical and electrical students, construction management and business students, and diploma holders. You start with what a plan is for, then build each part in the order a planner does.
Is there a free project planning internship with a certificate?
Yes. The Free internship is 4 weeks: no fee to join, and every note, weekly check, worked exercise and the final exam cost nothing. The exam is multiple choice and marked automatically. Passing it earns a free Internship Completion Certificate with a QR code anyone can scan. Engineer-verified is the optional paid edition: an engineer reviews each week and your project, and Brijin Chacko signs your graded certificate and letters. It runs 4 or 8 weeks, and you see its price in your currency before you pay.
What is the critical path, and will I work it out myself?
The critical path is the longest chain of linked activities, so any delay on it moves the finish. Yes: in week 3 you do the forward and backward pass by hand on an eight-activity network and see how a ten-day vendor delay changes the handover date.
Is the certificate real?
Yes. You get a free Internship Completion Certificate from Wartens Ltd (UK), delivered through EDWartens. It has a number and a QR code, so anyone can check it on edwartens.com/verification. It is a verifiable training certificate, not a degree or a licence.
Can I start free and upgrade later?
Yes. Everything you have done carries over, and anything you already paid for this internship in the same currency is taken off. More in the Help Centre at edwartens.com/support/upgrade-free-to-premium-internship.
What happens after the 4 weeks?
You keep your certificate and your record, and your verification page stays open. Nothing is charged. If you want more, you can upgrade to Engineer-verified, up to 30 days after your end date.
How long can I take?
The course has 8 weeks. Free: the first 4 weeks. The plan can run up to 8 weeks, and weeks 5 to 8 come with the Engineer-verified internship or a paid extension. Free starts today, and all 4 weeks are open from day 1. You work at your own pace.
What do I need?
A laptop or a phone and a free spreadsheet such as Google Sheets or LibreOffice Calc. For the last week you can also use a free scheduling tool such as ProjectLibre. Primavera P6 is named in the course because planners use it, but you do not need it: every idea is taught in plain, tool-neutral words, so nothing is lost without it.
