    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft ProjectFrom First Gantt Chart to Full Programme Control

    This training builds practical, job-ready skills across both Fundamentals and Advanced levels. By the end, you can plan, resource, cost, track and report on projects, and manage several projects together as a programme.

    Build a Project Schedule from Scratch

    Skills covered in Microsoft Project training start here: create a project file, set the calendar and working time, and build a work breakdown structure with tasks, summary tasks, milestones and realistic durations.

    Link Tasks and Find the Critical Path

    Link tasks using Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, then read the critical path and float to protect your project finish date.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and apply resource levelling and optimisation so demand stays within availability.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Set a project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, use the Tracking Gantt, and analyse schedule variance to see exactly where a plan is slipping.

    Manage Costs and Earned Value

    Track budgets and actual costs, then calculate and report Earned Value metrics including BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI to show cost and schedule performance clearly to stakeholders.

    Create Custom Views, Reports and Dashboards

    Build custom fields with formulas and RAG indicators, custom tables, views, filters and visual reports, and present project status through dashboards instead of raw files.

    Manage Multiple Projects as a Programme

    Insert subprojects into a master project, create cross-project dependencies, share resource pools and resolve programme-level conflicts for a consolidated PMO view.

    Run What-If Scenarios and Close Out Projects

    Use multiple baselines for scenario planning, model scope changes, manage schedule risk and buffers, and formally close out a project with final performance reporting.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project. It suits project managers, planners, coordinators and PMO professionals in the UAE, from newcomers to experienced users who want to master advanced features.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training and who is it for?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project. It suits project managers, planners, coordinators and PMO professionals in the UAE, from newcomers to experienced users who want to master advanced features.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in the UAE?

    Yes. Across UAE construction, energy, IT and government projects, employers actively look for people who can build and control schedules in Microsoft Project. The skill applies the same week at work and strengthens your standing for planner, scheduler and PMO roles. Talk to a learning advisor to pick the right level.

    Do I get a certification after this course?

    This is a non-certification skills course, so there is no exam or external credential. You build practical Microsoft Project capability and receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning at the end of the programme.

    Which industries in the UAE use Microsoft Project?

    Microsoft Project is used widely in construction and infrastructure, oil and gas, IT and telecom, government, aviation and transport, and financial services. In the UAE these sectors run large, schedule-driven projects where the tool is a standard for planning and control.

    What is the difference between the Fundamentals and Advanced levels?

    Fundamentals is a 2-day course for new or occasional users, covering project setup, tasks, dependencies, resources, baselines and tracking. Advanced is a 3-day course for experienced users, covering resource levelling, Earned Value, custom reports and multi-project management.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in the UAE?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, and are available on request. Both the Fundamentals and Advanced levels can be booked individually or together, and corporate group rates are available. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share current pricing.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all modules, hands-on exercises on realistic project scenarios, structured courseware and templates, learner support, and a course completion record. Ask us for the exact inclusions for your chosen level and format.

    Do I need to buy Microsoft Project software separately?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is a separate commercial product from Microsoft Corporation, so you need a valid licence to use it during and after training. Confirm with us whether a trial licence is available for your session, or arrange your own before attending.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based rates for PMOs, project teams and engineering groups across the UAE. Contact us for a tailored group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Microsoft Project training?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination at either the Fundamentals or Advanced level. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises throughout the programme.

    What will I receive on completion?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. It recognises that you completed the training and built practical Microsoft Project skills you can apply straight away at work.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you learn by doing, following along in Microsoft Project as the trainer demonstrates each feature and completing practical exercises on realistic project scenarios to build proficiency.

    Do I need prior experience to join?

    The Fundamentals level has no prerequisites; basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps but is not required. For the Advanced level you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on Microsoft Project experience.

    Will this help me use Microsoft Project at work straight away?

    Yes. The training is built around practical exercises, so you leave able to create schedules, assign resources, set baselines and report progress on your own project data the next working day.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup and calendars, building a work breakdown structure, task dependencies and the critical path, creating and assigning resources, effort-driven scheduling, setting baselines, tracking progress and generating built-in reports.

    What does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced covers task types and advanced scheduling, resource pools and levelling, cost management and Earned Value, custom fields, views and visual reports, master projects and cross-project dependencies, and what-if scenario planning and project closure.

    Do I need Microsoft Project installed before the training?

    Yes. You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device before the session so you can follow the hands-on exercises. Confirm the version and any licence arrangements with us when you enrol.

    Is the training hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios. You work in the software alongside the trainer throughout, which is the fastest way to build lasting proficiency.

    Does the course cover Earned Value and resource levelling?

    Yes, both are covered in the Advanced level. You learn to run automatic resource levelling to resolve over-allocation, and to calculate and report Earned Value metrics such as SPI and CPI from Microsoft Project.
