    What Microsoft Project Training in Zambia DeliversA Practical Route to Confident Scheduling

    Microsoft Project Training in Zambia is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project (MS Project), the industry-standard scheduling application from Microsoft Corporation. Rather than working towards a certificate, you build real software skills you can apply to live projects from day one. The course runs at two levels. Fundamentals is a two-day, 16-hour programme for new or occasional users, covering project setup, the work breakdown structure, task dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced is a three-day, 24-hour programme for experienced users, extending into resource levelling, cost management, Earned Value, custom views and reports, and multi-project programmes. Training covers the current Microsoft Project desktop editions, Standard and Professional, as well as Microsoft Project Online, part of Microsoft 365. Designed for project managers, coordinators, planners, engineers and PMO teams across Zambia's mining, construction, energy, IT and public-sector projects, the training turns MS Project from an unfamiliar tool into everyday capability. Start your Microsoft Project journey with Invensis Learning and schedule with confidence.

    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft ProjectHands-On, Tool-Based Capability

    Here is what you will learn in Microsoft Project training: how to build, resource and control a complete project schedule using the tool. Across the Fundamentals and Advanced levels you gain hands-on capability you can apply directly at work, from first task entry to programme-level reporting.

    Build Project Schedules and the WBS

    Create a project file, configure calendars, and enter tasks, summary tasks, subtasks and milestones to build a clear work breakdown structure with realistic durations.

    Link Tasks and Manage the Critical Path

    Sequence work with Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies, apply lag and lead time, and read the critical path to protect delivery dates.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Set up work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and apply resource levelling to keep workloads realistic and achievable.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Baseline the approved plan, record actual progress with percent complete, and use the Tracking Gantt and variance tables to see slippage early and act on it.

    Manage Costs and Earned Value

    Plan and track project costs, and use Microsoft Project's Earned Value metrics such as SPI and CPI to report schedule and budget performance to stakeholders.

    Report with Custom Views and Programmes

    Create custom fields, tables, views and visual reports, and consolidate multiple project files into a master project for programme-level reporting.

    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, engineers and PMO teams in Zambia who want confident, job-ready scheduling skills.

    Is Microsoft Project worth learning in Zambia?

    Yes. Employers across Zambian mining, construction, energy, banking and IT projects commonly ask for hands-on MS Project or Primavera skills. As copper, rail and power programmes scale, planners and managers who can control schedules in the tool are in strong demand.

    What are the two levels of the course?

    The training runs at two levels. Fundamentals is a two-day, 16-hour programme for new or occasional users. Advanced is a three-day, 24-hour programme for experienced users, covering resource levelling, costs, Earned Value, custom reports and multi-project management.

    Which versions of Microsoft Project does the training cover?

    The course covers the current Microsoft Project desktop editions, Standard and Professional, as well as Microsoft Project Online, which is part of Microsoft 365. The skills you build transfer across recent versions of the tool.

    Do I need Microsoft Project installed before the training?

    Yes. You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device so you can follow the hands-on exercises. Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation, so please arrange a valid licence in advance.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Zambia?

    Fees vary by level, delivery mode and group size, so pricing is available on request. Tell us whether you want Fundamentals, Advanced or both, and your preferred format, and a learning advisor will share a tailored quote.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises, course materials and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask your advisor to confirm exactly what is included for your chosen format.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and PMOs across Zambia. Ask about corporate pricing for a quote tailored to your team size and sector.

    Do I need to buy a Microsoft Project licence separately?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is a commercial product sold by Microsoft Corporation and is not included in the course fee. You need a valid licence to use the software during and after the training.

    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.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Microsoft Project training?

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

    Do I receive a certificate after the course?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after completing the training. It recognises that you have completed the programme and built practical Microsoft Project skills you can apply at work.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise each feature in Microsoft Project as the trainer demonstrates it, building proficiency through realistic exercises so you can apply the tool confidently on live projects.

    Will I be job-ready after the training?

    Yes. The course is built around applying Microsoft Project to real project scenarios, so you leave able to build schedules, assign resources, set baselines and track progress, the skills Zambian employers request in project roles.

    What is the difference between completing Fundamentals and Advanced?

    Fundamentals gives you confident core scheduling skills. Advanced adds practitioner-level capability such as resource levelling, cost and Earned Value management, custom reporting and multi-project programmes. Many learners complete both in sequence.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in the Fundamentals level?

    Fundamentals covers project setup and calendars, building the work breakdown structure, task dependencies and the critical path, creating and assigning resources, setting baselines, tracking progress with the Tracking Gantt, and generating built-in reports.

    What does the Advanced level cover?

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

    How long is each level of the training?

    Fundamentals runs over two days, totalling 16 hours. Advanced runs over three days, totalling 24 hours. Both are available as full-day or extended half-day formats to suit your schedule.

    Are there hands-on exercises in the course?

    Yes. Both levels are highly practical. You follow along in Microsoft Project while the trainer demonstrates each feature, then practise using realistic project scenarios so the skills stick.

    Do I need prior experience to attend?

    Fundamentals needs no prior experience, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. Advanced assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience using Microsoft Project.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training in Zambia?

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

    What delivery formats are available?

    We offer live online (virtual instructor-led) training, classroom training, and customised corporate onsite training for teams. Choose the format that best fits your schedule and location in Zambia.

    How soon can I start the training?

    New batches run regularly across both levels. Live online sessions start frequently, and corporate onsite dates are arranged around your team's availability. Ask an advisor about upcoming schedules.

    Can I reschedule my enrolment to another batch?

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