Introduction
Create and maintain a basic schedule in Microsoft Project desktop. Learn tasks, dependencies, calendars, resources and progress tracking through a practical project plan.


This instructor-led course combines clear explanations with guided exercises and practical scenarios. Work through examples relevant to the subject, review alternative approaches and practise checking your results rather than relying on a demonstration alone.
