Microsoft Project Courses

ProjectPro is offering introductory and advanced courses in Microsoft Project 2010.

Scheduling a project’s tasks can become a nightmare unless one is trained in properly structuring the project using a Work Breakdown Structure to ensure all the work packages are captured and decomposed into logically sequenced and resourced tasks. It is recommended that the learner attend an introductory course such as Project Management Demystified prior to the MS Project, but this is not essential.

Delegates may attend both the introductory and the advanced courses in one 4 day session, or just the 2 day introductory or advanced course at half the price of the combined course.
