Very poor quality video. In excel and MS project it is hard to read. Also, video and audio has some delays so it is a bit confusing. Other then that, very productive course.

very good start. I had no clue where to start using this, i just knew i needed this skill tool. Tony broke it down to the basics that i needed to understand things. Most of the concepts are directly helpful to me. some are not but give one a sense of overview of the product.

I really enjoyed this intro to MS Project course. Tony is very clear and concise and he does an excellent job with sharing the basics. He was easy to follow alone and now I don't feel so intimidated when opening project. I enjoyed this class so much that I enrolled in the more advanced Project class while it was $10.
