Remote/Online Microsoft Project Training Courses

Due to COVID-19 we are now offering our courses remotely helping you structure your day and focus on learning a new skill.
Courses are small - up to 4 delegates only.

Microsoft Project Introduction Course

Our comprehensive one day course provides a new user or user with basic experience of Microsoft Project, the confidence to create a new detailed project plan and set a baseline.

On the training course you will define calendars, generate phases, apply costs, allocate resources and then track the project against the plan. Delegates will also export information and generate reports. Previously a 2-day course consolidated into a fast track one day course.

Microsoft Project Training

Managing a project to ensure it runs on time and within budget is always a challenge.

Microsoft Project can help you by keeping track of your tasks - you prepare the plan, assign your resources and costs to your plan. You can then save your plan and track against the plan comparing what's actually happening against what you had planned to happen.

To use this vast tool effectively, good training is essential. All too often without training, this software is used to build a diagram, rather than using it as an efficient scheduling tool.

Learn Microsoft Project the easy way, with TCS Training. We give you the skills that you can apply with confidence, ensuring you get the most from Microsoft Project.

Coronavirus - Remote / Online IT Training

In the current climate, we are offering training remotely.

Our experts will hook up with you via a remote connection and the course will be delivered this way.

Many companies are adopting this delivery method and it's working well to keep structure whilst working from home and providing something positive to focus on.

You can have a group session, or one to one, or attend a public course on which we are only enrolling 4 delegates. You still have our after course support service for 1 year after delivery.

We will post out to you the course materials to work with during the training session.
