Microsoft Project Training Courses

Microsoft Project is the industry-standard tool for planning, scheduling, and tracking projects of all sizes. SkillForge's live Microsoft Project training teaches you to build complete project plans, assign and level resources, track progress against baselines, and generate the reports stakeholders need — all in a hands-on, instructor-led environment.

What our Microsoft Project courses cover: Courses cover creating and structuring a project plan, defining tasks and dependencies, setting milestones, assigning resources and costs, establishing a baseline, tracking actual progress, identifying and resolving resource conflicts, and producing Gantt charts, resource reports, and status reports. We also cover integration with Microsoft 365 and best practices for real-world project management.

All courses are taught live by expert instructors in small groups. Available as public online sessions or private on-site training for project management teams.

Microsoft Project Training

Managing a project with Microsoft Project only pays off if the plan behind it actually holds up once real work starts. This course covers both sides of that: building a solid project plan from scratch — tasks, task relationships, resources, and a realistic schedule — and then keeping that plan accurate once execution begins, tracking real progress, adjusting for delays, and reporting status without the whole schedule falling out of sync.

Students learn how Microsoft Project calculates a schedule from a start or end date, task relationships, resource availability, and project calendars, and how to use views like the Gantt chart to read that schedule at a glance. The course also covers sharing a plan with people who don't have Microsoft Project installed, and building a reusable template to speed up future projects.
