Microsoft Project

This is just some of what we offer in Microsoft Project training. Please ask for a detailed Microsoft Project Course Content Sheet to select what you would like to learn. Please note, that one day is required to set up your project and look at the basics of tracking. An additional day at least is required if you wish to further track, analyse, publish the findings, and see how Microsoft Project interacts with the rest of Microsoft Office.

Choose a level or mix and match to select exactly what you wish to learn.

Learn how to set up your project, enter tasks and assign resources (people, equipment, materials) to them. Enter costs and track your project as the work is undertaken. Manipulate and display calculated data in various views to analyze the planning and progress in order to successfully make decisions vital to your project. Communicate your progress and provide feedback to those with a stake in the project. A two day Microsoft Project training course can take the total beginner to a level where you can easily start running your own project.
