    What Is Microsoft Project and Why Learn It?UntitledYour Practical Scheduling Toolkit

    Microsoft Project Training in Ivory Coast is a practical, instructor-led course that teaches you to plan, schedule and control projects using Microsoft Project, the scheduling software developed by Microsoft Corporation and used by project teams worldwide. Available at Fundamentals and Advanced levels, it takes you from building a work breakdown structure and linking task dependencies to levelling resources, setting baselines and tracking progress against plan. Across Abidjan and the wider country, employers in infrastructure, energy, mining, telecoms and IT rely on Microsoft Project to build Gantt charts, manage resources and report status. This training gives project managers, coordinators and PMO professionals the software skills to turn a plan into a controlled, trackable schedule. The 2-day Fundamentals level (16 hours) suits new or occasional users, while the 3-day Advanced level (24 hours) adds resource levelling, Earned Value Management, custom reporting and multi-project management for experienced practitioners. Both reflect how frameworks such as the PMBOK Guide and PRINCE2 are applied in practice, and on completion you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning.

    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft ProjectPractical, Job-Ready Capabilities

    This training moves from core scheduling to advanced planning, resourcing, cost control and reporting. By the end, you can build, resource, baseline, track and report a project end to end in Microsoft Project, at either Fundamentals or Advanced level.

    Build and Structure Project Plans

    You will learn to create a project file, configure calendars and working time, and build a full work breakdown structure with summary tasks, subtasks, milestones, durations and recurring tasks, so your plan is organised and easy to maintain.

    Link Tasks and Manage the Critical Path

    Connect tasks with Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies, add lag and lead time, apply constraints and deadlines, and read the critical path and float to keep projects on schedule.

    Assign and Level Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them with the right units, apply effort-driven scheduling, spot over-allocation, and use resource levelling and shared resource pools to balance workload across a project or programme.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Set the project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, use the Tracking Gantt to compare planned against actual, and analyse schedule variance so you always know where the project really stands.

    Manage Costs and Earned Value

    Plan and track costs with budget and cost resources, and calculate Earned Value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI directly in Microsoft Project to report performance against both schedule and budget.

    Report with Custom Views and Master Projects

    Create custom fields, tables, filters and RAG indicators, build visual reports and dashboards, and manage master projects, subprojects and cross-project links while exporting to Excel and Microsoft 365 for stakeholder reporting.

    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, coordinators, planners, PMO professionals and team leads across Ivory Coast who want confident, job-ready software skills.

    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, coordinators, planners, PMO professionals and team leads across Ivory Coast who want confident, job-ready software skills.

    Is Microsoft Project worth learning in Ivory Coast?

    Yes. Ivory Coast is investing heavily in infrastructure, energy, mining and IT, and employers running these programmes rely on Microsoft Project for scheduling and reporting. Proven tool skills help you stand out for planner, scheduler and PMO roles where structured scheduling talent is scarce.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals (2 days) if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally and want a solid foundation in scheduling and resourcing. Choose Advanced (3 days) if you already use it and want resource levelling, Earned Value, custom reports and multi-project management. You can take either independently.

    Do I need prior project management experience?

    No formal experience is required for the Fundamentals level. Basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office is helpful but not essential. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on Microsoft Project experience.

    What software is the training based on?

    The training uses Microsoft Project, the scheduling application developed by Microsoft Corporation, available as desktop editions and as Microsoft Project Online within Microsoft 365. You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device before attending.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Ivory Coast?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote tailored to individual enrolment or corporate group training, and to see upcoming batches.

    What is included in the training fee?

    The fee typically covers instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on exercises using realistic scenarios, templates and learner support, plus a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to confirm exactly what is included for your chosen level.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, delivery teams and engineering functions. Ask about corporate and group pricing for a tailored quote.

    Is a Microsoft Project licence included in the fee?

    Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation, so a licence is not automatically part of the training fee. You should arrange access to Microsoft Project before the course; ask us whether a trial licence can be provided for your session.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Course Completion

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    Yes. After completing the programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. This is a skills training course, so there is no separate examination at either the Fundamentals or Advanced level.

    Is there an exam at the end of the course?

    No. Both levels are non-credential skills courses with no examination. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. You build proficiency by following the trainer through practical exercises and applying each feature to sample projects, so you gain confidence through practice rather than a test.

    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 as extended half-day formats; ask about current scheduling options.

    Will the skills stay relevant after the course?

    Yes. Microsoft Project scheduling skills apply immediately and do not expire. What you learn about planning, resourcing, baselining and tracking transfers directly to your next project and across sectors.

    Course Content

    What topics does the training cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup, work breakdown structures, task dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines, tracking and reporting. Advanced adds resource levelling, cost management, Earned Value, custom views and reports, and master projects for multi-project management.

    Will I get hands-on practice with Microsoft Project?

    Yes. Both levels are exercise-led. You follow the trainer in Microsoft Project as each feature is demonstrated and practise on realistic project scenarios, so you build genuine software proficiency during the sessions.

    Does the course cover Gantt charts and the critical path?

    Yes. You learn to build and format Gantt charts, link tasks with all four dependency types, apply lag and lead time, and read the critical path and float to manage schedule risk and protect key deadlines.

    Does the Advanced level cover Earned Value and cost management?

    Yes. The Advanced level covers budget and cost resources, cost tracking and Earned Value Management, including BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI, so you can report performance against both schedule and budget.

    What materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware for your level, practical exercises using realistic scenarios, and supporting resources such as templates and reference guides to help you apply Microsoft Project at work.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training?

    You can enrol through Invensis Learning by choosing your level and preferred format. Once enrolled, you receive schedules, courseware and joining details. Talk to a learning advisor to pick the right level and batch.

    What training formats are available?

    We offer live virtual (online) instructor-led training, classroom sessions, and onsite corporate group training. You can choose the format that best fits your schedule and learning preference in Ivory Coast.

    How soon can I start?

    New batches run regularly across formats. Check upcoming schedules or ask a learning advisor about the next available Fundamentals or Advanced sessions and corporate options for your team.

    Can you train my whole team onsite?

    Yes. Corporate group training can be delivered onsite or live virtual, customised to your projects and schedule. Teams benefit from working on their own project data during exercises. Request a group quote to get started.

    Can I reschedule my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule to another batch on selected plans. Contact our support team to arrange a change that works for you.
