What Other's Say About Us

“As a commercial builder, I wanted to improve my skills in project management and using tools that will help my clients understand the progress of a project more clearly

Having used MS Project previously I felt that I wasn’t getting the most out of the program. Ivor was very knowledgable in MS Project and provided very thorough training that I will be able to take back and utilize with my own projects.”

Roger Ricupero – Builder, writes:

“I have learned the fundamentals of Primavera P6 from manual (road map), to actual application on the software.

Ivor took me through from when P6 started up to where it becomes. We have covered most of the fundamentals of P6 from its advantages and disadvantages
in detail presentation 1-on-1 and with some exercises required to test the software.

The course has been done for span of 4 sessions, 3 hrs/day which fits my schedule as a FIFO worker.

I would like to recommend him for beginners who wish to be a Project Engineer or Planner on any industries you might interest with”.

JP Maglenta – Estimator/Project Engineer, writes:

“Excellent course, conducted in a learner friendly environment. Definitely recommended for all primavera P6 learners out there.

The course was 1-on-1 conducted in four 3-hours sessions. The flexibility suited my job routine. Smaller sessions meant what was learnt was remembered and absorbed.

Ivor gave me plenty of useful guides/further readings to continue this process of learning. Thanks to him”.

Mohammad – Project Engineer, 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”.

Garry Heard – Project Construction Manager, writes:

“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”.

Shannon – Schedule Control Officer, Rio Tinto, Gove, Northern Territory, writes:

“Required a more hands on technical understanding of MS Project transitioning from Construction Management to Project Management.

Ivor’s training was flexible with my fulltime working commitments and enabled training outside of my usual business hours which was crucial. Conducting the course within 3 x 3 hour sections enabled me to be able to transfer the knowledge gained each week into my working week and follow up the next class, resulting in a great learning environment and technique.

Ivor has a wealth of knowledge from actual industry experience and a very relaxed one on one approach ensures a satisfactory outcome.

I completed the course with a great base understanding of building and maintaining a project timeline and reporting techniques for tracking project progress.”.

Nathan Luken – Construction Manager, writes:

What Other's Say About Us

I contacted Ivor to conduct 3 x 3 hr, one-on-one training sessions relating to how MS Project can work with the Maximo maintenance management system plus ancillary XL based inputs.

At the start of the course, I was unable to build an operational MS Project Template to accommodate all my requirements. Just following the internet based tutorials was no substitute for sitting with an expert and asking specific questions about the precise set up I required. After two sessions I was able to build a robust template and this meant that in the third and final session we were able to get down to the nitty gritty of the project.

Ivor was invaluable to me and I don’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone seeking a thorough understanding of what MS Project can (and can’t) do for you.

Mick Lampard - Maintenance Planner/Scheduler

I had the pleasure of attending a Project intermediate Training session with Ivor Kosowitz. His knowledge on Project is by far the best I have come across in over 30 years in the Mining & Oil & Gas industries. He has the patience and the skills to enable you to better your on skills. The one on one training broken into small blocks on different days is by far the best solution for any candidate. I would recommend Ivor to anyone seeking to improve their Project skills.

Bernard Sweeny - Senior Project Controls, Impex Darwin

I had a requirement to learn MS Project as this was the preferred reporting tool as specified by the client. Having had no previous Projects experience, I attended a course in the CBD, which was very informing and contained a lot of information.

When I went to apply this learning to an actual project, I had trouble transferring what I had learnt into practise. I had learnt 90% of what I needed to know but struggled to understand where I was going wrong and couldn’t convert this into something that worked.

I came across Ivor via the internet and advised him that I had already attended another course and was sceptical about attending another in case I found myself in the same situation. He stated that his style of teachings was different, starting with a focus on understanding the basic logic required to build a program.

Ivor’s method of training over 3 sessions and using a pencil and paper has resonated well for me and I’m pleased to say that I now have a level of confidence using Project that I didn’t previously.

I’d be happy to act as a reference for anyone who is like me and a bit old school with regards to using computer programs”.

Jason McInnes - Operations Manager

As an experienced civil engineer with many years in the industry, I identified that my planning skills were lacking. Both to produce a working programme and to have the ability to explain how the programme reacts to change. After taking the courses in Microsoft Project and Primavera P6, I can now identify the correct procedures to rake to produce a working accurate programme. This in turn, allows me to show progress to colleagues.

The courses were split into manageable time blocks which gave better retention of the subject matter.

I am now confident that I can identify areas that may not be correct within these software packages the time consuming limitations that they present.

In closing, there is no way that these software packages can be self taught.

Many thanks Ivor, and I look forward to the advanced excel course.”

Andrew Regan - Civil Engineer

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.
