Microsoft Project

The Microsoft® Project® class combines beginner and intermediate practices and lessons into a single, comprehensive delivery. Students will first explore the desktop application interface so they are able to navigate and perform necessary project management functions efficiently.

Lessons are taught by a Microsoft Project certified instructor in an incremental fashion, one module building upon the previous. Students will experience using the desktop application Microsoft Project and see how projects are built from scratch or with the assistance of a template.

The content of this course is applicable to Project 2021, 2019, and 2016.

The lessons within the Microsoft® Project® course cover the core elements of Microsoft Project needed for a project manager to successfully manage a project plan. At completion of the computer desktop training, students will know how to perform the steps necessary to

• Build a project schedule
• Enter resources such as project team members
• Account for deadlines and project constraints
• Record project activity updates

• This course is valuable to students that used Project earlier but not recently or those that wish to expand their knowledge of Project from a beginner level.

To ensure your success in this course, you should have basic knowledge and skills using the Microsoft® Windows® operating system—preferably the most current version. While you do not need to be an expert, some experience and competency with Microsoft Office applications will be useful.
