    General

    What is the Microsoft Project training and who is it for?

    It is a practical, hands-on software course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects in Microsoft Project. It is designed for project managers, coordinators, planners and PMO team members, and runs at Fundamentals and Advanced levels.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Kenya?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is the scheduling tool employers expect across Kenya's IT, construction, banking and development sectors. With Vision 2030 programmes scaling and a widening project talent gap, people who can build and control schedules are in strong demand.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does the course cover?

    The training covers the core desktop application, Microsoft Project Standard and Professional, with an overview of Project Online in Microsoft 365. The skills transfer across recent versions. Confirm the exact version used on your session with Invensis Learning.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Choose Fundamentals (2 days) if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally. Choose Advanced (3 days) if you already use it and want resource levelling, earned value, custom reports and multi-project management. You can take either level or both in sequence.

    Do I need prior experience to learn Microsoft Project?

    No. The Fundamentals level has no prerequisites, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft 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 Kenya?

    Fees depend on the level, delivery format and group size, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for current fees in your preferred format and a tailored quote for individuals or teams.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware, hands-on exercises on realistic scenarios, downloadable templates, learner support and a course completion certificate. Ask about the exact inclusions for each level when you enquire.

    Do I need my own Microsoft Project licence?

    You are expected to have Microsoft Project installed and accessible during the training. Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation. Check with Invensis Learning whether a trial licence is provided or whether you arrange your own.

    Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, delivery teams and departments across Kenya. Request a group quote for your team.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for the Microsoft Project course?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no exam 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 the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after completing the programme. It records the training you completed and the practical skills you built.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. You build proficiency by following the trainer through live exercises and completing hands-on tasks on realistic project scenarios, so you practise each feature as you learn it.

    Is this a recognised certification?

    No. This is a practical skills course, not a certification, and it has no awarding body or exam. It builds job-ready Microsoft Project capability and complements qualifications such as PMP or PRINCE2, which cover project management methodology.

    How will I practise the skills during training?

    You work in Microsoft Project alongside the trainer, building and updating real project plans through guided exercises. This hands-on approach means you can apply what you learn to your own projects straight after the course.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Microsoft Project course cover?

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

    What will I be able to do after the Fundamentals level?

    You can create a project and calendar, build a task list with milestones, link tasks with dependencies, identify the critical path, assign work, material and cost resources, set a baseline, track progress and generate built-in status reports.

    What does the Advanced level add?

    Advanced adds fixed unit, duration and work task types, resource pools and levelling, cost and earned value tracking, custom fields, tables, filters and visual reports, and master projects with cross-project dependencies for programme-level reporting.

    How long is each level and how many hours?

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

    Are practical exercises and templates included?
