    What Is Microsoft Project and Why It Matters in MauritiusUntitledA Practical Scheduling Skill for Project Teams

    Microsoft Project Training in Mauritius equips project professionals with the practical skills to plan, schedule and control projects using Microsoft Project, the industry-leading scheduling software from Microsoft Corporation. Available at Fundamentals and Advanced levels, the course moves you from building a task schedule and linking dependencies to levelling resources, tracking baselines and reporting progress. Microsoft Project ships as Standard and Professional desktop editions and as Project Online within Microsoft 365, and it is the tool project managers, planners and PMOs rely on to create Gantt charts, calculate the critical path and measure earned value. It is the scheduling companion used by PMP and PRINCE2 practitioners to put project management principles into practice. With construction, IT, financial services and infrastructure projects expanding across Mauritius, professionals who can schedule and track delivery in Microsoft Project are in real demand. This is a hands-on skills course, so you learn by doing and can apply what you learn at work straight away.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training and who is it for?

    It 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 staff and team members in Mauritius who want confident tool skills, at Fundamentals or Advanced level.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Mauritius?

    Yes. Employers across construction, IT, banking and infrastructure increasingly want professionals who can schedule and control projects in Microsoft Project. Roles from project coordinator to programme manager value the skill, so it strengthens your day-to-day delivery and your career prospects.

    Do I need experience with Microsoft Project before joining?

    No prior Microsoft Project experience is needed for the Fundamentals level; basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience with the tool.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals (2 days) if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally. Choose Advanced (3 days) if you already use it and want to master resource levelling, earned value, custom reports and multi-project management. You can take either level on its own.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does the course use?

    The course teaches the current desktop application, which is available as Microsoft Project Standard and Professional, along with Project Online in Microsoft 365. The scheduling skills you learn transfer across recent versions of the software.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Mauritius?

    Fees depend on the level you choose, the delivery format and whether you train individually or as a team. For current pricing on the Fundamentals and Advanced levels, request a quote and a learning advisor will share the options that fit you.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically covers instructor-led sessions, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises, course materials and learner support, plus a course completion certificate. Ask your advisor for the exact inclusions for the format you choose.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored content and schedules for PMOs, engineering teams and business units, with pricing based on group size. Contact us for a team quote.

    Do I need a Microsoft Project licence to attend?

    Participants are expected to have Microsoft Project installed and accessible during training. Confirm with your advisor whether a trial licence is provided or whether you should arrange your own before the course.

    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 at the end of the course?

    No. This is a hands-on skills course with no examination at either level. Your learning is reinforced through live Microsoft Project exercises on realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    Do I receive anything on completing the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. It recognises that you have completed the training and built practical Microsoft Project skills you can apply at work straight away.

    How is my learning checked during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you build proficiency by following along in Microsoft Project as the trainer demonstrates each feature, then completing practical exercises using realistic project data.

    Will this prepare me to use Microsoft Project at work?

    Yes. The course is designed around real workplace tasks, from building and resourcing a schedule to baselining, tracking and reporting. By the end you can apply the tool directly to your own projects.

    Can I take both levels one after the other?

    Yes. Many learners complete Fundamentals first to build a solid base, then progress to Advanced for resource levelling, earned value, custom reporting and multi-project management. You can also take either level independently.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Microsoft Project course cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup, task scheduling, dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines, progress tracking and reporting. Advanced adds resource levelling, cost and earned value management, custom views and reports, and master projects.

    What skills will I have after the training?

    You will be able to build and resource a schedule, link tasks and read the critical path, set baselines, track progress and variance, and produce project reports. Advanced learners can also level resources, calculate earned value and manage multi-project programmes.

    Is the training hands-on or theory based?

    It is highly hands-on. You work in Microsoft Project throughout, following the trainer through each feature and completing practical exercises on realistic project scenarios, so the learning stays applied and practical.

    How long is each level of the course?

    The Fundamentals level runs for 2 days (16 hours) and the Advanced level for 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats. Ask your advisor about current scheduling options.

    Does the course cover Project Online and Microsoft 365?

    The course focuses on the desktop application, with an overview of Project Online and how Microsoft Project integrates with Microsoft 365 tools such as Excel, SharePoint and Teams for reporting and collaboration.
