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.
