Why book this course?

Few projects take place now without relying on some form of software, be it for communication or time management. If your organisation uses Microsoft applications, it’s likely that you will be working with Microsoft Project: one of the most popular tools for managing projects on any scale.

Our Fundamentals of Microsoft Project course is a hands-on introduction to Microsoft's popular project planning tool. You learn how to use Microsoft Project to create and manage your own projects, including how to make plans, how to assign resources, and how to view different forms of information in the software.
