    General

    What is Microsoft Project training and who is it for?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project. It is designed for project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO professionals and team members who need reliable scheduling skills.

    Is learning Microsoft Project worth it in Canada?

    Yes. MS Project is a widely required skill across Canadian construction, energy, IT, BFSI and public-sector employers that run schedule-driven projects. Roles such as project scheduler and planner average around C$90K, and the skill applies immediately on the job.

    What are the two levels of the course?

    The training is offered at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days) covers project setup, tasks, dependencies, resources, baselines and tracking. Advanced (3 days) covers advanced scheduling, resource levelling, Earned Value, custom reporting and master projects. You can take either level or both in sequence.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does the training use?

    The course works with current Microsoft Project editions, including the desktop Standard and Professional applications and Project Online within Microsoft 365. You learn techniques that transfer across recent versions of the software.

    Do I need prior project management experience?

    No. The Fundamentals level has no formal prerequisites and suits people new to MS Project; basic familiarity with Windows and Office helps. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Canada?

    Pricing varies by level, delivery format and group size, so a current quote is the most accurate guide. Fees are available on request. Contact a learning advisor for individual or corporate pricing in Canada.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware and reference materials, hands-on exercises on realistic scenarios, learner support, and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Request a quote to confirm inclusions for your chosen format.

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

    Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation, and participants should have it installed and accessible during training. Please confirm with our team whether a trial licence is provided or whether you arrange your own.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate training with customised schedules and group pricing for teams and PMOs. Sessions can use your own project data. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a tailored quote.

    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.

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination at either level. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    Will I receive a certificate after completing the training?

    Yes. After completing the training you receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. It recognises the practical MS Project skills you have built, which you can apply immediately at work.

    How are my skills assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise every technique through guided, hands-on exercises in Microsoft Project, building a full schedule step by step so your proficiency develops during the training itself.

    What will I be able to do after Fundamentals?

    You will be able to create a project file, configure calendars, build a task list with milestones, link tasks with dependencies, identify the critical path, assign resources, set a baseline, track progress and generate built-in status reports.

    What will I be able to do after Advanced?

    You will be able to apply task types correctly, connect resource pools, run resource levelling, calculate and report Earned Value metrics, build custom fields, views and reports, and manage master projects with cross-project dependencies.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Microsoft Project syllabus cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup, work breakdown structure, task dependencies, the critical path, resources and baseline tracking. Advanced covers advanced scheduling, resource optimisation, cost management, Earned Value, custom reporting and multi-project management.

    Is the training hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live instructor demonstration and hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you follow along in the software and build proficiency through practice, not just theory.

    How long is each level of the course?

    Fundamentals runs for 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced runs for 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats. Confirm current scheduling options when you enrol.

    Does the course connect to project management frameworks?

    Yes. You apply established principles from the PMI PMBOK Guide and methods such as Critical Path Method and Earned Value Management directly inside Microsoft Project, so the software skills support real project management practice.

    Can beginners and experienced users both benefit?

    Yes. Beginners start with Fundamentals to build confident core skills, while experienced users take Advanced to master levelling, Earned Value, custom reporting and master projects. Choose the level that fits your current experience.
