Microsoft Project is a powerful Project Management tool. It automates the process of organizing, scheduling, recording, calculating, tracking, reporting, and analyzing schedule data for any project. The tool will help you achieve your project goals on time and within budget. You will learn all this and MORE in this course.
For the new PM: MS Project can appear very intimidating to a new user. For a new Project Manager who is learning the art of project management - having to learn the software tool can be very taxing without someone to hold your hand and walk you from start to finish.
For the experienced PM: This course will make your skills really shine. You know that there are so many aspects to a project - the schedule, resourcing, quality, costs, reporting. And everything must be reported from a microscopic to a 20,000 ft level at the drop of a hat. This course will allow you to do just that.
What you will get from this course:
- 61 short and sweet, topic specific lectures. No rambling lessons ever.
- 50+ exercise files - almost every lesson has a file which you can download and use.
- Every lesson is hands-on and you learn by doing.
- Certificate of completion
- A course designed to walk you quickly from Baby steps to Sprints to Marathons.
GREAT EMAIL FEEDBACK AND REVIEWS:
"Life Long Learner(LLL) - A part of me !! First and foremost thanks for a course which worth more then just certain $. I have been on MSP 2010 for a long now, so I thought of upgrading to whats new in 2013. I have been through your course and indeed a complete package that an professional would expect. I have been doing project coordination for a company , and now completed with my PMP in June. Project management is something I love doing, by completing the course it good to be upgraded on application side also. Also i am collecting PDU's for PMI's CCR. So this course offered me to learn a new MSP 2013 along with PDU's."

I really enjoy the experience so far. Excluding a few issues with sound quality all is very beneficial. One of the best investments in online courses I’ve ever done

A brilliant teacher. Very clearly explains every unique function in MS Project whilst providing instances of use and professional advice. My only reservation is a personal preference. I would have liked a final exercise comprises of a completely different project mock-up including specification & ordered instructions which are inline with the course structure (preferably accompanied by a final model answer to work toward). Thankyou!

Excellent course. A well-chosen level of information: from the basic (but not obvious) to advanced (but without a huge amount of details, which are not possibly to remember). Very good way of communication. No inconveniences often encountered in other courses like the useless movements of the mouse, clicking on everything what’s possible, repeating sentences several times etc. At this course important things are highlighted or enlarged. It's easy to focus and remember them. And everything is explained clear and understandable. English is not my native language, but I didn’t have any problems to understand teacher. I have contact with the MS Project for several years, but this course raised my skills at the lot higher level. Thank you very much.
