Five full days of AWP & WFP training that will get you up-to-speed on the body of knowledge and have you practicing IWP creation and execution, to prepare you for AWP / WFP certification and real-world application of the AWP & WFP models.

AWP & WFP Body of Knowledge (2 days):

This course is designed to provide an overview of the elements included in Advanced Work Packaging and WorkFace Planning. WorkFace Planning focuses on the development of small, manageable, constraint-satisfied work packages to be executed at the construction site. WorkFace Planning focuses on getting the right things to the right people at the right place so that work crews can perform safe, effective and efficient work.

Advanced Work Packaging emphasizes the development of engineering work packages, construction work packages and installation work packages. It begins at the concept phase of a project and continues until project completion. Advanced Work Packaging is supported by extensive research and the documentation provided includes tools, scorecards, flowcharts, templates, implementation guide and case studies.

Upon completion of these two days, participants will be able to articulate the requirements of an effective WorkFace Planning system and Advanced Work Packaging system.

IWP Creators (3 days):

This three-day workshop provides in-depth, practical knowledge around work package creation and execution, and is an ideal follow-up to AWP & WFP Body of Knowledge. This course provides great detail about the WorkFace Planner’s role within the organization and within the project and gives learners the nuts-and-bolts information they need to effective create and execute work packages.

On day one, learners become familiar with the role of the WorkFace Planner. Topics covered include: the workface planner and the workface planning group, organizational structures and reporting relationships, documents and resources, generating credibility, gaining influence and support on the project, path of construction, scheduling, work package identification and release plans and package creation from start to finish.

Topics covered on day two include: document control interface and responsibilities, issuance to the field and control in the field, project close-out, project controls and technologies that support and enhance work packaging activities.

On day three, learners apply all of the information covered in days 1 and 2 to a practical example of planning and executing a project using WorkFace Planning.

At the conclusion of these three days, participants should be able to describe the roles and responsibilities of a WorkFace Planner, identify the activities involved in creating, documenting, tracking and execution of installation work packages, the documentation required to manage installation work packages and the roles and responsibilities of other construction functions necessary to support the WorkFace Planning initiative.
