Microsoft Project® is one of the most popular project management scheduling software products available today. Whether you are an occasional user or a full-time scheduler, your understanding of Project is vital to your ability to plan, manage, and track your projects effectively. This program, which includes the Project 2007 Standard edition software, is the essential Microsoft Project® training. You will become familiar with how to really plan and track projects using Project’s many features. This online certificate program is offered in partnership with major colleges, universities, and other accredited education providers.
This training is designed for beginners through advanced users of Microsoft Project. It includes a full module and project management scheduling concepts to ensure that you and Project are making the same assumptions as you build your project schedule. If you have dabbled with Project before, you're probably aware that it's not like any of the other Microsoft suite software. With Project, you must have some knowledge of project management in order to use the software effectively.
This training program combines online presentations, reading assignments, and hands-on practice, which you'll work offline with provided practice files. Quizzes and short case studies will confirm your understanding of the topics discussed. Each module builds on the previous one in a logical progression from entry level to very advanced level skills. You'll also get lots of tips and hints from the instructor, who is a project manager and has worked with Project for many years.
In addition, this training will help you prepare to take Microsoft’s Exam 70-632 for MSProject 2007 standard or professional certification and provide the prerequisite training hours for Project Management Institute's Scheduling Professional (PMI-SP®) credential.
