Ivor’s (Fast Track Computer Solutions) approach to learning has been invaluable to me. Having spent the past 20 years working hands on in the construction industry making the change from being onsite doing the work to changing roles to managing works.
Ivor’s ability to work with you 1 on 1 and giving the appropriate instruction at the right pace for my abilities to process and retain the information provided during training.
I have found Ivor’s extensive construction industry experience of great value and look i forward to more training and mentoring as I become more aware of the requirements of my new role progresses.
Ivor’s knowledge of the Microsoft suite of programs is excellent and has given me the basic understanding and confidence to use these essential tools. I have learnt to use Windows, Teams, Excel Basic and MS Project, so far.
I am looking forward to gaining more skills with these programs into the future with Ivor’s help.

I recommend Ivor for Microsoft Project Courses in Perth.
Ivor is flexible with training dates allowing training to fit into our busy work schedules.
The training was scheduled over 3 hrs training blocks which made retention of the information much better than trying to absorb everything over 1 to 2 solid days.
The training is set at the individuals learning pace, therefore allowing various portions of the course to be retrained if required.
Ivor showed us a many tips and trips which he has learnt through his project experience over a lifetime working in the Construction and Engineering industry.
Eduardo Daher
Project Planner, writes
I started a new position as a Project Planner, and I needed training in Microsoft Project and Primavera P6.
I selected the 1-on-1 training with Ivor, and I can say that it is very useful as all the information you receive is based on real-life projects and straight to what you need to understand about the software and how they work.
The course was broken down into 3 hours block, and Ivor was very flexible with the days. I had time to process the information every day, and ask him questions the day after.
I highly recommend this course.
Garry Heard
Project and Construction Manager, writes
I have been depending on planners and schedulers for several years not having a full understanding how the information was fed into Primavera P6.
After doing the course with Fast Track (Ivor), I now have a full understanding of Primavera and are in a position where I can either set up a schedule myself or ask the right questions back to the planner/scheduler.
Primavera P6 has many functions that can assist with preparing and running a project schedule, finding these functions can be difficult, so I would suggest Primavera training is done.
The Primavera P6 training with Fast Track Solutions was well presented in a manner that was easy to follow. Training was done in 3 hour blocks, 1 on 1 training which gave you time to digest the information and review before the next session.

I have just finished my P6 Training with Ivor 1 on 1 through Zoom. Ivor broke the 12 hrs course up 4 x 3hr sessions. This worked great, I wasn’t so overwhelmed, it was good to recap on the previous training session. Ivor was very patient with me as I am a big note taker. I have never used this program before but straight after the training I could create Projects and Calendars. Big WIN for me. Thanks heaps Ivor

“After struggling trying to self-learn Primavera, I enrolled in the Primavera course with Fast Track.
After sitting with Ivor for 4 sessions, I can honestly say, I have a much better understanding of the software.
Ivor knows the software thoroughly, and could answer the questions I had, accurately.
Sitting one-on-one with a professional as well as the course manual, was money & time well spent.”

Thank you Ivor at Fast Track Computer Solutions for the Project and P6 Primavera training.
Was exactly what I was looking for, someone with experience on the field to explain not only how the program works but how you apply this properly in real life.
Was very well understood as is not only explained through the interaction of videos, lectures and explanation of the software but also making me do an exercise of the program help a lot.
Never thought saying this, but doing mistakes was the best thing as you questioned where I was wrong and I had to understand how to solve it with your guidance.
The training units time was perfect! Enough time in each unit to understand and absorbed the information avoiding loosing focus of the process. Discussions of real projects and a quick explanation of the history of the programs makes it more interesting.
This is the best learning process.

I have completed the Primavera P6 Course
I found that by breaking the course up into 4 sessions to be a great advantage to enable better retention and with a one on one approach this was the best way for me to focus on the tasks.
Ivor conducted the course at my pace that enabled better retention of the subjects as we covered them. Primavera is a very complex course, with a huge suite of features that require continued use to get the full advantage of the program.
All notes were provided to assist in future use of P6.

(Foreman – SCEE), writes
Ivor has a sound understanding of planning principals and project management/construction.
This assisted with the training as he was able to tailor examples and scenarios to my particular line of work.
He covered a lot of core features of the P6 program and was able to demonstrate some of it’s shortfalls and tricks to make the program work for me.
The training was broken up into 3 hour units over multiple days that allowed for better retention and time to review notes on the previous lessons.
