    What Does Microsoft Project Training Cover?Your Route to Confident Project Scheduling

    Microsoft Project Training in Costa Rica equips project managers, planners and PMO professionals with the practical skills to plan, schedule and control projects using Microsoft Project, the industry-standard project scheduling application from Microsoft Corporation. This hands-on, instructor-led course builds real software proficiency rather than theory, so you can apply it to live projects from day one. The programme runs at two levels. Microsoft Project Training (MS Project Training) Fundamentals is a 2-day course for new or occasional users, covering project setup, task scheduling, dependencies, resource assignment, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced is a 3-day course for experienced users, extending into resource levelling, cost management, Earned Value, custom reports and multi-project programme management. You can attend either level on its own or progress through both. Because Microsoft Project is the tool most PMP and PRINCE2 practitioners use to put methodology into practice, these skills sit at the heart of project delivery across Costa Rica's life sciences, IT services, construction and shared-services sectors. This is a non-certification course; on completion you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, instructor-led course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, the industry-standard scheduling software from Microsoft Corporation. It is offered at Fundamentals (2 days) and Advanced (3 days) levels, and no prior certification is required.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, instructor-led course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, the industry-standard scheduling software from Microsoft Corporation. It is offered at Fundamentals (2 days) and Advanced (3 days) levels, and no prior certification is required.

    Who should take this course?

    It suits project managers, coordinators, planners, schedulers and PMO professionals who want confident Microsoft Project skills. In Costa Rica it is popular across medical devices, IT services, construction and shared-services teams that run structured projects.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Costa Rica?

    Yes. Employers across Costa Rica's growing life sciences, technology and construction sectors need people who can build and control real schedules, not just apply methodology. The skills apply immediately at work and make you more effective and marketable.

    Do I get a certification from this course?

    This is a non-certification course, so there is no exam or external credential. On completion you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning that recognises the practical Microsoft Project skills you have built.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally; it covers setup, tasks, dependencies, resources, baselines and tracking. Choose Advanced if you already use the tool and want resource levelling, Earned Value, custom reports and multi-project management. You can take either or both.

    Do I need prior experience with Microsoft Project?

    No prior experience is needed for the Fundamentals level, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience with the software.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Costa Rica?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Share your preferred level and format and a learning advisor will send a tailored quote. Request a quote to see current options.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises, structured courseware and learning resources, and a course completion record. Verify the exact inclusions for your chosen level and format when you enquire.

    Do I need to buy Microsoft Project separately?

    Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation, so you should have it installed and accessible before the training. Check with our team whether a trial licence is available for your session, or arrange your own licence in advance.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for teams and PMOs across Costa Rica. Contact us for a group quote for your team.

    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.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Microsoft Project training?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination at either level. Instead of an exam, learning is reinforced through hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    How am I assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. You practise each feature live in Microsoft Project as the trainer demonstrates it, building proficiency through guided, scenario-based exercises rather than a graded test.

    What do I receive on completion?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning confirming the Microsoft Project skills you have developed. The skills are immediately applicable to your projects and do not expire or require renewal.

    Will this help me apply PMBOK or PRINCE2 in practice?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is the tool most PMP and PRINCE2 practitioners use to turn methodology into working schedules. The course complements methodology training by giving you the software fluency to plan, resource and track projects.

    What will I be able to do after the training?

    After Fundamentals you can build a baselined schedule, link tasks, assign resources and track progress. After Advanced you can also level resources, calculate Earned Value, create custom reports and manage multiple projects from a master file.

    Course Content

    What topics does the course cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup, the work breakdown structure, task dependencies and the critical path, resources, baselines, progress tracking and reporting. Advanced adds task types, resource levelling, cost and Earned Value management, custom views and reports, and master projects.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is designed for beginners and occasional users, with no prerequisites beyond basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office. The trainer guides you through each feature step by step.

    Is the course hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are highly practical: you follow along in Microsoft Project while the trainer demonstrates each feature, then complete exercises on realistic project scenarios to build genuine proficiency.

    Which version of Microsoft Project is used?

    The course teaches the core capabilities of Microsoft Project, including the desktop application and features available through Microsoft 365. Confirm the specific version used for your session when you enrol so you can prepare your software.

    How long is each level of the course?

    Fundamentals runs over 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced over 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day or extended half-day formats depending on the schedule you choose.

    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 need help choosing.

    What delivery formats are available?

    The course is available as online (live virtual) instructor-led training, in-person classroom sessions, and corporate onsite delivery for teams. Choose the format that best fits your schedule and location in Costa Rica.

    When can I start the training?

    We run regular scheduled batches for both levels, plus corporate sessions on dates that suit your team. See upcoming schedules or ask an advisor about the next available start date.

    Can I reschedule my booking?
