• Standard 3-day and 4-day Microsoft Project Classes
  These are the standard Microsoft Project course lengths, covering the entire course material -- basic concepts through advanced tools. The 4-day class is recommended for total beginners, as it includes several practice schedule-building sessions, and goes into greater depth in describing how the tool is used in real project management situations. The 3-day class is appropriate for participants who already have some familiarity with Project prior to the class. To view the standard course outline, click this link.


• Abbreviated 2-day Microsoft Project Class
  An abbreviated version of the standard Project course. It moves quickly, and typically omits some Project functions, such as resource management, cost management, baselining, and tracking. The course outline is reviewed in advance with the client to ensure that the course will cover functions most important to the participants.


• 5-day Microsoft Project Class – the complete course plus extra labs and practice sessions.
  This is the complete curriculum in its fullest detail. Extra labs help clarify the concepts from the class, and increase participants' retention. The labs are especially effective when participants provide actual project schedules. The students apply lessons learned in the class to these actual schedules. Special diagnostic filters are created to spot common errors. Anomalous behaviors that sometimes occur in Microsoft Project are reviewed, with reference to Microsoft's Knowledge Base. This in-depth class is recommended for full-time scheduling professionals, even if they have had prior training in Project.


• 1-day Microsoft Project Classes
  These special 1-day classes do not attempt to teach the full course outline. Several class options are available:
  • A 1-day briefing for senior managers who will not use Project themselves. This class is a lecture demonstration, allowing senior managers to see what Project can do. The instructor invites questions, and demonstrates how the functions operate. Participants do not need computers for this briefing.
  • A 1-day class for secretarial and support staff, showing how to understand, edit, and print Project Gantt charts and network diagrams.
  • 1-day classes focusing on specific Project functions in depth, for participants who are already using Project in their daily work. These are always customized to the needs of the participants, and typically address only two or three topic areas, such as resource balancing, earned value reporting, and advanced formatting options.


• Hands-On Schedule-Building Labs -- Training While Working
  Individual or small group workshops, combining training with work on real schedules provided by the participants.


• One-on-One Training
  Personalized assistance, especially for individuals who have been given responsibility for managing large or complex schedules.

Training can be provided in English or Spanish.
