Course benefits

A Solid Foundation for Your Project Management Skills

Microsoft Project is probably the project management software that's easiest to learn.
But don't be fooled: "teaching yourself" can lead to problems later on!

This comprehensive course is designed for users of Microsoft Project - new or existing - who want to learn how to use best practice in a structured and effective way.

You don't need previous experience with Project, or even project management concepts, but you must be able to use a PC with the Microsoft Windows operating system. A good working knowledge of using Microsoft Excel will also be very helpful.

Course content in detail

The course duration will vary according to how you view and interact with the course.
But a reliable estimate would put the duration at 5 hours 40 minutes.
[We recommend that this course is taken in sessions, each of around 1 hour maximum.]
