    The Practical Skills You Will BuildAcross Fundamentals and Advanced Levels

    In Microsoft Project training you will learn to build and control a complete project schedule, from tasks and dependencies to resources, baselines, costs and reports. These are the capabilities you develop across the Fundamentals and Advanced levels.

    Build Schedules and Work Breakdown Structures

    Create project files, configure calendars, and enter tasks, summary tasks, milestones and durations to build a clear work breakdown structure that Microsoft Project schedules automatically.

    Link Tasks and Read the Critical Path

    Connect tasks with Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start and other dependencies, add lag and lead time, apply constraints and deadlines, and interpret the critical path and float to manage schedule risk.

    Create and Assign Project Resources

    Set up work, material and cost resources, assign them with the right units, apply effort-driven scheduling, and identify and resolve over-allocation before it affects delivery.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Save a project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, use the Tracking Gantt to compare plan against reality, and generate built-in status reports.

    Optimise Resources and Manage Costs

    Apply resource levelling, resource pools, budget resources and cost tracking, and calculate earned value metrics such as SPI, CPI and estimate at completion for accurate performance reporting.

    Customise Reports and Run Multiple Projects

    Build custom fields, tables, views and visual reports, manage master projects and cross-project dependencies, and integrate Microsoft Project with Excel, SharePoint and Teams in Microsoft 365.

    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 and Advanced, with no exam and a course completion certificate on finishing.

    Who should take Microsoft Project training in Ireland?

    It suits project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO analysts and team leads across Ireland who plan and track projects. It works for newcomers to the software as well as experienced users who want advanced scheduling and reporting skills.

    Do I need any experience before starting?

    No. The Fundamentals level assumes no prior Microsoft Project experience, though basic familiarity with Windows and Office helps. The Advanced level is for those who have completed Fundamentals or already use the tool regularly.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Ireland?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is the industry-standard scheduling tool, and confident users are in demand across Ireland's technology, pharma, medtech and construction sectors. The skills apply immediately to everyday project delivery.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or the Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals if you are new to or occasionally use Microsoft Project. Choose Advanced if you already use it and want resource levelling, earned value, custom reporting and multi-project skills. You can take either independently or both in sequence.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Ireland?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size. Fundamentals runs over two days and Advanced over three days. For current pricing and schedules, request a quote from a learning advisor.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes live instructor-led training, structured courseware, hands-on exercises, practical templates, learner support and a course completion certificate. Confirm exact inclusions when you enrol.

    Do I need a Microsoft Project licence, and is it included?

    Microsoft Project is a separate Microsoft product, so you should have it installed and accessible for the hands-on exercises. Check with us whether a trial licence is provided or whether you need to arrange your own before the session.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs and project teams across Ireland. Contact us for a group quote.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfer, 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. Microsoft Project training is a non-certification skills course with no exam at either level. Your learning is reinforced through hands-on exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the Fundamentals or Advanced programme. It recognises the practical Microsoft Project skills you have built.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. You practise continuously through guided, hands-on exercises in Microsoft Project, so you build genuine proficiency by using the tool rather than sitting a test.

    How long is the training?

    Fundamentals is delivered over two days (16 hours) and Advanced over three days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day or extended half-day formats. Confirm current schedules when you enrol.

    Will I be able to use Microsoft Project confidently afterwards?

    Yes. The course is built around doing, not watching, so by the end you can create schedules, manage resources and track progress independently in Microsoft Project.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup and calendars, building the work breakdown structure, task dependencies and the critical path, work, material and cost resources, baselines, progress tracking and built-in reports.

    What does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced covers task types and advanced scheduling, resource levelling and pools, cost management and earned value, custom fields, views and reports, master projects and cross-project links, and what-if scenario planning.

    Does the course cover resource management and earned value?

    Yes. Fundamentals introduces resource types, assignment and over-allocation, while Advanced adds resource levelling, resource pools, budget resources and earned value metrics such as SPI and CPI.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does the course use?

    The course teaches Microsoft Project across its editions, including the desktop Standard and Professional applications and the cloud-based Project Online in Microsoft 365. Confirm the specific version used for your session when you enrol.

    Are practical exercises included?

    Yes. Every module is taught with live, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you apply each feature as you learn it.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training?

    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.
