    What Is Microsoft Project Training?A Practical Skill for Project Delivery

    Microsoft Project Training in Barbados is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to use Microsoft Project, the industry-leading project scheduling software from Microsoft Corporation, to plan, schedule, resource-manage and track projects with confidence. It moves you beyond spreadsheets to structured, dependency-linked plans that update automatically as work progresses. The programme runs at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days, 16 hours) suits new or occasional users and covers project setup, task scheduling, dependencies, resources, baselines and tracking. Advanced (3 days, 24 hours) extends that to resource levelling, cost and earned value management, custom reporting and multi-project programmes. The skills map directly to recognised project practice such as the PMI PMBOK Guide, PRINCE2, the Critical Path Method and Earned Value Management. Microsoft Project is available as Project Standard, Project Professional and Project Online within Microsoft 365, and this training builds skills that transfer across all three. On completion you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning and the practical ability to run schedules the same day at work.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project Training and who is it for?

    Microsoft Project Training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to use Microsoft Project to plan, schedule, resource-manage and track projects. It suits project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO analysts and team leads in Barbados across construction, tourism, IT, finance and the public sector.

    Is Microsoft Project Training worth it in Barbados?

    Yes. With nearly US$1 billion of new hotel projects, airport and seaport expansion and a renewable energy drive under way, Barbados employers increasingly expect hands-on scheduling skills. Fluency in the industry-standard tool makes you more effective at work and more visible for project roles.

    What are the two levels of the course?

    The course runs at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days, 16 hours) covers project setup, tasks, dependencies, resources, baselines and tracking for new or occasional users. Advanced (3 days, 24 hours) covers resource levelling, cost and earned value, custom reporting and multi-project programmes.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does this cover?

    The skills transfer across Microsoft Project Standard, Microsoft Project Professional and Project Online within Microsoft 365. You learn the core scheduling, resource and reporting features that are common to all three, so your knowledge applies whichever edition your organisation uses.

    Do I need prior experience with the software?

    For Fundamentals, no. Basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps, but the level is designed for people new to the tool. For Advanced, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience using Microsoft Project.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project Training cost in Barbados?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Your fee includes instructor-led training, hands-on exercises, courseware and learner support. Request a quote and a learning advisor will share current options for individuals or teams.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes live instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic scenarios, learner support and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask us for a full breakdown for your chosen level and format.

    Do you offer group or corporate rates?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, delivery teams and business units. Training can be delivered on your own project data. Contact us for a tailored quote for your team.

    Do I need a Microsoft Project licence, and is it included?

    You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device for the hands-on exercises. Microsoft Project is a separate commercial product from Microsoft Corporation. Ask us whether a trial licence is provided for your session or whether you should arrange your own.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major credit and debit cards and bank transfers, with instalment options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to choose the option that suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment And Completion

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. This is a hands-on skills course with no examination at either level. Your learning is reinforced through live Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you build genuine proficiency during the training itself.

    Do I receive anything on completion?

    Yes. On completing the training you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. It recognises that you have completed the programme and built practical Microsoft Project skills you can apply at work straight away.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise each feature through guided, hands-on exercises using realistic project scenarios. Working alongside the trainer as you build schedules, resources and reports is how you confirm and cement the skills.

    Will these skills stay valid over time?

    Yes. The scheduling, resource, cost and reporting skills you learn are immediately applicable and do not expire. Because they map to recognised practice such as the PMI PMBOK Guide, PRINCE2 and Earned Value Management, they remain relevant across projects and roles.

    How does this complement project management methods?

    Microsoft Project is the tool practitioners use to apply methods like the PMI PMBOK Guide and PRINCE2. This training builds the software skills to put those methods into practice, so it pairs well with methodology learning and everyday delivery work.

    Course Content

    What will I learn in Microsoft Project Training?

    You will learn to build schedules and a work breakdown structure, link tasks and read the critical path, create and level resources, set baselines and track progress, manage costs and earned value, and build custom reports and multi-project programmes.

    What does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup and calendars, building the WBS with tasks and milestones, dependencies with lag and lead time, the critical path, work, material and cost resources, effort-driven scheduling, over-allocation, baselines, progress tracking and built-in reports.

    What does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced covers task types and advanced scheduling, resource pools and levelling, cost and earned value management with SPI, CPI and EAC, custom fields, views and reports, master projects, subprojects and cross-project links, and what-if scenario planning.

    Is the training hands-on or theory based?

    It is hands-on throughout. You follow along in Microsoft Project as the trainer demonstrates each feature, then apply it in realistic exercises. This practice-led approach builds proficiency you can use on live projects immediately.

    Can beginners take this course?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is designed for beginners and occasional users, with no prior Microsoft Project experience required. If you already use the tool and want to master advanced features, the Advanced level is the better fit.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project Training?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website. Choose your level and preferred format, complete payment, and you will receive access to schedules, courseware and joining details. Talk to a learning advisor if you would like help choosing the right level.

    What delivery formats are available in Barbados?

    The course is available as live virtual instructor-led training, classroom sessions and corporate onsite delivery. You can choose the format that best fits your schedule, and teams can arrange onsite or live virtual sessions built around their availability.

    Should I choose Fundamentals or Advanced?

    Choose Fundamentals if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally and want a solid foundation. Choose Advanced if you already work in the tool regularly and want to master resource levelling, earned value, custom reports and multi-project management.

    Can I reschedule my training?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule to another batch where available. Contact our support team and they will help you move to a session that works better for you.
