Microsoft Project - Training Course

Versions Covered: Project 2010 and Project 2013
(differences in other versions will be highlighted during training)

DESCRIPTION :	This course familiarises the learner with using Microsoft Project to manage projects of all sizes. It covers the important aspects of dealing with tasks and resources and pays particular and crucial attention to problem areas that often arise when using a computer to help manage projects. There is enough material for 2.5 days of training. This gives the trainer some flexibility to aim the course at the appropriate level for the participants. If you are an experienced project manager with a good grasp of Microsoft Project, there is an Advanced 2 day course available, but this is rarely requested, as the Intro course covers most of the bases.
PRE-REQUISITES :	This course is designed for participants who have: (a) have little or no knowledge of Microsoft Project or (b) a scattered knowledge and self-taught background. The instructor will tailor the material to the experience and need of the group. Some project management experience would be beneficial.
