About This Course

It’s a misconception that you need to spend many hours learning Microsoft Project. This is a tool to help you schedule and manage projects. So given our collective experience in Project Management within large global organisations, we have made a course that will get you up and running and working with best practice in a very short time frame. 

We will teach you how to get the most out of Microsoft Project. Your tutor, Martin, has many years of Project Management, Planning, PMO and Scheduling in large global organisations and is ready to pass on to you what you really need to know to create and manage an efficient and effective project plan.

Whether you are a Project Manager, Product Manager, Planner, PMO, Business Analyst or any professional who needs to manage projects, you will benefit from learning how to use Microsoft Project from us. Not only will we teach you the basic functions but more importantly we will teach you best practices. It’s not all about what you should do but also what you should NOT do in order to have your project run smoothly. Your project may look neat and tidy on paper but if your resources are overallocated or your dependencies are wrongly set, your project will likely run into trouble. 

This course teaches you how to avoid the pitfalls and create a plan that is easily manageable regardless of size or complexity.
