Why study this course

Microsoft Project is one of the most popular scheduling and project management programs on the market.

This course builds on the skills developed in Microsoft Project 2019/365 - Part 1 and covers advanced skills and features. You'll learn about managing the Project environment, managing task structures, generating views, and producing reports.

Note: Project 2019 and Project 365 are both desktop application versions of Microsoft Project. Project 2019 is the perpetual, bought-outright, stand-alone version of the software; Project 365 is the subscription-based version. Anyone working with either Project 2019 or Project 365 will be able to successfully complete this course. Throughout this course you will be using the Desktop app; the course does not cover use of the Web/Online app.

After completion of this course you may also be interested in our Agile Project Management Foundation and PRINCE2 Foundation courses.
