Microsoft Project Training Courses

Compare four Microsoft Project courses that move from setting up a schedule to tracking work and coordinating several projects. Each is listed as four hours; check session dates and fees through its exact booking link.

Project 1 covers calendars, tasks, milestones and dependencies. Project 2 adds resource allocation, custom fields and reporting. Project 3 focuses on baselines, resource levelling and changes during an active project. Project 4 addresses master projects, shared resource pools, reporting across projects and templates.

Tell us which Microsoft Project or Planner product you use before booking. The published topics describe Project scheduling workflows; the names Project, Project Online and Planner should not be treated as interchangeable software.

Follow the Project learning sequence

The Microsoft Project pathway progresses through building a Gantt chart, resource allocation and reporting, tracking, and multiple projects with templates. Choose the stage that addresses your current planning responsibility.

Confirm the Project product and edition, then compare the prerequisites and topics. Scheduling practice should preserve real dependencies and explicit assumptions. A useful chart does not prove a plan is feasible; the project owner still needs to review resources, dates and decisions against the actual work.

Build the Project pathway around the planning task

Start with Building Gantt Charts if calendars, tasks, durations and dependencies are the main need. Compare Resource Allocation and Reporting for assignments and reports, Tracking and Managing Projects for baselines and progress, and Multiple Projects and Templates for linked plans and shared resources.

These are practical course-selection distinctions from the published outlines. Bring the Project version and the planning responsibility you hold so Power Concepts can help choose a suitable starting point and sequence.
