    Master the Industry Standard Project Scheduling ToolYour Practical Route to MS Project Fluency

    Microsoft Project Training in Botswana equips project managers, planners and PMO professionals with the practical skills to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, the industry-standard scheduling software developed by Microsoft Corporation. This is hands-on, tool-focused training: you learn by building real schedules in the software, not by preparing for an exam. The programme is offered at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days, 16 hours) suits new or occasional users and covers project setup, work breakdown structures, task dependencies, the critical path, resource assignment, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced (3 days, 24 hours) is for experienced users and covers resource levelling, Earned Value Management, custom views and reports, master projects and programme-level scheduling. Both levels work across Microsoft Project Standard, Professional and Project Online in Microsoft 365. These skills map directly to how projects are run in Botswana's mining, construction, energy and public sector programmes, and they complement project management approaches such as the PMI PMBOK Guide and PRINCE2. On completion you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning and capability you can apply the very next day.

It is designed for project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO professionals and team members in Botswana who want confident control of their project plans.

    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 is designed for project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO professionals and team members in Botswana who want confident control of their project plans.

    Do I get a certification after this Microsoft Project course?

    No external certification or credential is awarded, as this is a practical skills course with no examination. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning, and you gain applied software skills you can use at work immediately.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Botswana?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is the industry-standard scheduling tool, and employers across Botswana's mining, construction, energy and public sectors value people who can build reliable schedules and report progress in it. These skills strengthen your job performance and your career options.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally and want a solid foundation in scheduling and resource management. Choose Advanced if you already use the software and want to master resource levelling, Earned Value, custom reports and master projects.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does the course use?

    The skills apply across Microsoft Project Standard, Professional and Project Online, which is part of Microsoft 365. The training focuses on core features that work consistently across these editions, so your learning transfers to the version your organisation uses.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Botswana?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. The Fundamentals and Advanced levels are priced separately, and corporate group rates are available. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share current options.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training, structured courseware, hands-on exercises using realistic project scenarios, downloadable templates, learner support and a course completion certificate. Ask us for the full inclusions for your chosen level and format.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored content and volume-based pricing for PMOs, project teams and departments across Botswana. Contact us for a group quote built around your team size and project needs.

    Do I need to buy a Microsoft Project licence separately?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is a separate commercial product from Microsoft Corporation, so you need a valid licence to use the software during and after training. Confirm with us whether a trial licence is available for your session when you enrol.

    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 or your organisation.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam or test for this course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course, so there is no examination at either level. Your learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises throughout the programme.

    How is my learning reinforced during the training?

    You learn by doing. Throughout both levels you follow the trainer and build real schedules in Microsoft Project using realistic project scenarios, so you practise every feature as you go rather than sitting a formal assessment.

    What will I be able to do after the Fundamentals level?

    After Fundamentals you can create a project and configure calendars, build a task list with summary tasks and milestones, link tasks with dependencies, identify the critical path, assign resources, set a baseline and track progress with the Tracking Gantt.

    What will I be able to do after the Advanced level?

    After Advanced you can apply the different task types correctly, connect a shared resource pool, run resource levelling, calculate and report Earned Value metrics, build custom views and reports, and consolidate subprojects into a master project.

    What do I receive on completion?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning that recognises the practical Microsoft Project skills you have built. There is no renewal to manage, and the skills are immediately applicable to your projects.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup and calendars, work breakdown structures, task durations and milestones, dependencies and the critical path, work, material and cost resources, baselines, progress tracking and built-in reports. It runs over 2 days (16 hours).

    What does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced covers advanced scheduling and task types, resource pools and levelling, cost management and Earned Value, custom fields, views and reports, master projects and cross-project dependencies, and what-if scenario planning. It runs over 3 days (24 hours).

    Do I need prior experience to join?

    Fundamentals has no prerequisites, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. Advanced expects you to have completed Fundamentals or to have equivalent hands-on experience using Microsoft Project.

    Do I need Microsoft Project installed beforehand?

    Yes. You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device before the session so you can follow the hands-on exercises. Contact us if you need guidance on software access before your training.

    Are the courseware and exercises hands-on?

    Yes. Every module is delivered with live Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios. You build proficiency through practice, following the trainer feature by feature rather than working only from slides.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training in Botswana?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your level and preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing.

    What delivery formats are available?

    We offer live online (virtual instructor-led) training, in-person classroom sessions and corporate on-site delivery for teams. Choose the format that best fits your schedule and how you prefer to learn.

    How long is each level of the training?

    The Fundamentals level runs over 2 days (16 hours) and the Advanced level over 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats, so you can pick what suits your availability.
