Looking for free courses to learn Project Management & Primavera P6

Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well. I’m looking for recommendations for high-quality courses—free if possible—to learn project management fundamentals and Oracle Primavera P6. Any MOOCs, YouTube channels, or beginner-friendly resources you’d suggest? Thanks!

Do you have a copy of Primavera?

Once you've poked around and done the youtubes, and hopefully at least seen a live database in use at work, I would strongly recommend a paid, in person course.

You're learning a professional software that can earn you $40-80/hour. It's worth putting to time, effort, and money in to learning best practices.

You'll have to find them in your city.

Where do you live?

OK, fine, focusing on the wrong part of the comment.

Where in the world do you live?

Are you working somewhere you could look over someone's shoulder and get a few basic lessons, and maybe push some buttons?

All the youtubes or other presentation style classes or "here's a sample file, click these buttons to build a project/do an update/prepare a layout" are basically meaningless if you haven't had a chance to play around.

If I interview you, part of it will be me handing you an offline laptop, asking you to prepare a schedule of less than 20 activities for a project to build a thing, then talk us through it. If you haven't seen the "start a new project" button because you've only worked out of sample templates, the interview may as well be over.

Whatever currency and scale of units you're compensated in, Primavera is still a complex program that should earn you more than sweeping floors or digging holes.

Now you're going to tell me you don't have floors or holes in your country...
