Practical Capabilities for Real Projects
This Microsoft Project course builds practical, hands-on capability from your first schedule to programme-level reporting. By the end, you can plan, resource, track and report on real projects using Microsoft Project with confidence.
Create projects, configure calendars, enter a work breakdown structure with summary tasks, subtasks and milestones, and set durations so Microsoft Project calculates the schedule automatically.
Apply Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, use constraints and deadlines, and interpret the critical path and float to protect delivery dates.
Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, identify over-allocation, and use resource levelling to keep team workloads realistic and achievable.
Set project baselines, record actual progress, analyse schedule variance in the Tracking Gantt, and generate built-in reports that stakeholders can rely on.
Plan budgets, track costs and calculate earned value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, SPI and CPI to measure project health and forecast outcomes at the Advanced level.

"Great training session but material could have been prepared earlier and sequential for us to follow"
"Respective communication, steady pace of the class, not too fast but as well not too slow. A lot of space for open discussions and questionings. its not 5/5 because I believe the sessions consist of too much information for such short time. It could be organized in 1 more day, with less information per day, to have a better understanding."
"your Sales Rep Kevin was very pushy to sign up but when we finally did we had no support - no confirmation of booking, and constant reminders to pay even when we already had. The training itself was good, the trainer was great although she had her camera off the entire training. "
"One of the standout experience of training was the structured and comprehensive nature of the program.The training covered all essential aspects. The trainer was always willing to answer. I received helped me refine my skills and understand best practices."
"Interactive training, hands-on knowledge and great use of visual tools!"
"Sathish Kumar was a great course facilitator, took the time to explaine with a calm voice and lots of patience all the topics and questions. Really recommend that course with him. "
