    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. Invensis Learning offers it at two levels: Fundamentals for new or occasional users, and Advanced for experienced users. It is a skills course with no examination.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project. Invensis Learning offers it at two levels: Fundamentals for new or occasional users, and Advanced for experienced users. It is a skills course with no examination.

    Who should take this Microsoft Project course?

    It suits project coordinators, planners, project managers, programme managers, PMO professionals and team leads who plan and schedule work. In Finland it fits people in construction, IT, energy and manufacturing who need dependable scheduling skills in the tool.

    Do I need prior experience to start?

    No. The Fundamentals level has no prerequisites and is designed for people new to Microsoft Project, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience.

    Is Microsoft Project still worth learning in 2026?

    Yes. Microsoft Project remains one of the most widely used project scheduling tools, and Finnish employers regularly list it as a required hard skill for project roles alongside Agile and Jira. Practical fluency in the tool makes you noticeably more employable.

    What is the difference between the Fundamentals and Advanced levels?

    Fundamentals covers project setup, tasks, dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines and tracking. Advanced adds resource levelling, cost and Earned Value management, custom views and reports, master projects and programme-level coordination.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Finland?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Share your preferred level and format and a learning advisor will send a tailored quote for individuals or teams in Finland.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee includes instructor-led sessions, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises, organised courseware and learning resources, and post-training support. On completion you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Request a quote for full details.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, project teams and engineering groups. Ask about corporate pricing for a quote built around your team size and goals.

    Do I need my own Microsoft Project licence?

    Participants are expected to have Microsoft Project installed and accessible for the hands-on exercises. Whether a trial licence is provided depends on the delivery option, so confirm licence arrangements with your learning advisor before the course.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Talk to a learning advisor to choose the payment option that best suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam 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 using realistic project scenarios throughout the training.

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    Yes. After you complete the programme you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. It records the training you attended and the practical Microsoft Project skills you built, which you can apply straight away at work.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you learn by doing, following the trainer through live Microsoft Project exercises on realistic projects, so you build genuine proficiency during the sessions rather than preparing for a test.

    Will this help with PMP or PRINCE2 skills?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is the scheduling tool practitioners use to apply methodologies such as the PMBOK Guide and PRINCE2, including Critical Path Method scheduling and Earned Value Management, so the training complements project management method courses well.

    How long does the training take?

    The Fundamentals level runs over 2 days, totalling 16 hours, and the Advanced level over 3 days, totalling 24 hours. Both are also available in extended half-day formats, and you can attend either level independently or in sequence.

    Course Content

    What does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers project and calendar setup, building the work breakdown structure, task durations and milestones, the four dependency types with lag and lead time, the critical path, work, material and cost resources, baselines, progress tracking and built-in reports.

    What does the Advanced level add?

    Advanced adds task types and the scheduling formula, resource pools and levelling, cost and Earned Value management, custom fields, views, tables and reports, master projects with cross-project links, what-if scenarios, and Microsoft 365 integration.

    Will I practise on realistic projects?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios. You follow along as the trainer demonstrates each feature, so you build practical, transferable skill through repeated practice.

    Which version of Microsoft Project is used?

    The course focuses on the desktop editions, Microsoft Project Standard and Professional, with an overview of Project Online within Microsoft 365. Confirm the exact software version for your session with your learning advisor before it begins.

    What will I be able to do after the course?

    You will be able to build and control a full schedule, link tasks and read the critical path, assign and balance resources, set baselines and track progress, and generate reports. Advanced learners can also manage costs, Earned Value and multiple projects.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training in Finland?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your level and preferred format, complete your booking, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. A learning advisor can help you pick the right level.

    What delivery formats are available?

    The training is available as online (live virtual) instructor-led sessions, classroom training, onsite delivery, and customised corporate group training. Choose the format that best fits your schedule and how your team prefers to learn.

    Can complete beginners join?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is built for beginners and occasional users, with no prerequisites. If you are new to the tool, start there to build a solid foundation before considering the Advanced level.

    Can I reschedule my batch?

    Yes. Flexible rescheduling options let you move to another batch on selected plans. Contact our support team ahead of your session and they will help you arrange a suitable alternative date.

    Do you offer onsite training for teams in Finland?
