Learn Microsoft Project® Conveniently
at Your Workplace
Join the growing number of companies who
have brought our training onsite for their employees. By having the seminar
held at your office, our instructors are able to provide real-world advice
and instruction, while your staff gains company-specific knowledge
throughout the training process.
This seminar teaches participants
how to use the flagship of project management software. We teach the functionality of
Microsoft® Project using a combination of lecture, hands-on applications
and case studies to reinforce and better absorb the material. Although
this is our standard Microsoft® Project offering, some advanced features
are explored so that users can plan and manage projects in the PMBOK®
context. Companies have the option of training their employees on either
Microsoft Project 2003 or 2007.
To maximize your value, we recommend having ten or more of your employees attend the training.
If you don't have that many employees for the training, we can also negotiate a competitive rate
for smaller audiences... Call us for a quote!
