    Why Microsoft Project Is the Planner's Essential ToolYour Practical Scheduling Advantage

    Microsoft Project Training in Malawi is a hands-on, instructor-led course that teaches you to use Microsoft Project (MS Project), the world's most widely used scheduling application, to plan, resource and track projects with confidence. Rather than working from fragile spreadsheets, you learn to build structured, dependency-linked schedules that keep delivery on time and on budget. Offered at two levels, Fundamentals and Advanced, the course suits project managers, coordinators, planners and PMO professionals across Lilongwe, Blantyre and beyond. Fundamentals covers project setup, task scheduling, dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced adds resource levelling, cost and Earned Value management, custom reporting and multi-project programmes. As Malawi scales its construction, telecoms, banking and development portfolios, employers increasingly want people who can turn plans into controlled delivery using Microsoft 365 tools such as the desktop editions and the cloud-based Project Online. Build that capability with Invensis Learning and apply it from your very first project.

    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft ProjectFrom Setup to Programme Reporting

    In Microsoft Project training you learn to plan, schedule, resource and track projects end to end. From your first project file through to programme-level reporting, each skill is practised through hands-on exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you can apply it at work straight away.

    Set up Projects and Calendars

    Create project files, configure calendars and working time, and choose automatic or manual scheduling so your plan reflects real working days and holidays from the very start.

    Build the Schedule and Critical Path

    Enter a work breakdown structure, link tasks with the right dependencies and lag or lead time, add milestones, and read the critical path that drives your project finish date.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and use resource levelling to keep workloads realistic across the plan.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Save a project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete, use the tracking Gantt, and analyse schedule variance to catch slippage early and act in time.

    Manage Costs and Earned Value

    Plan budgets, track actual costs, and calculate Earned Value metrics such as SPI, CPI and EAC to report project health with evidence at Advanced level.

    Report and Manage Multiple Projects

    Build custom views, tables and visual reports, and consolidate subprojects into master schedules for programme-level planning and reporting at Advanced level.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training and who is it for?

    Microsoft Project training in Malawi is a practical, instructor-led course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project. It suits project managers, coordinators, planners, schedulers and PMO team members, from beginners at Fundamentals level to experienced users at Advanced level.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Malawi?

    Yes. As construction, telecoms, banking, government and donor-funded projects grow across Malawi, employers increasingly expect staff who can control schedules in Microsoft Project rather than spreadsheets. The skills are immediately useful on the job and help you qualify for planner, coordinator and PMO roles.

    Do I need experience before joining?

    No experience is needed for the Fundamentals level; basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office is helpful. For the Advanced level you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on Microsoft Project experience.

    Which levels of the course are offered?

    Two levels. Fundamentals is a 2-day (16-hour) course for new or occasional users. Advanced is a 3-day (24-hour) course covering resource levelling, cost and Earned Value management, custom reporting and multi-project programmes. You can take either independently or in sequence.

    Do I need my own Microsoft Project software?

    Yes, you should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device before the training. Microsoft Project is a separate Microsoft product, available as Standard, Professional or the cloud-based Project Online in Microsoft 365. Ask us whether a trial licence can be arranged.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Malawi?

    Fees vary by level, delivery mode and group size, so pricing is available on request. Fundamentals is a 2-day course and Advanced a 3-day course, offered as live virtual, classroom or corporate onsite training. Contact a learning advisor for a quote.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training across all modules, hands-on Microsoft Project exercises, learning materials and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Microsoft Project software licences are separate. Request a quote for full inclusions.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate and group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs and project teams. Corporate delivery lets your team practise on real organisational project data. Ask about corporate pricing for your team.

    Are there savings for taking both levels?

    Fundamentals and Advanced can be booked together or separately. Combined and group bookings may qualify for preferential pricing. Talk to a learning advisor about the best option for you or your team.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfers, and offer flexible options on selected plans. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange payment that suits you.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for Microsoft Project training?

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

    What do I receive on completion?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. The training builds practical Microsoft Project skills you can apply immediately at work; there is no external credential or renewal to maintain.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you build proficiency by following along with live Microsoft Project exercises, so you leave able to plan, schedule, resource and track projects confidently in the tool.

    Does this course complement PMP or PRINCE2 training?

    Yes, indirectly. Microsoft Project is the scheduling tool many PMP and PRINCE2 practitioners use to apply their methods, so these skills complement project management training. This course does not prepare you for those exams.

    Do the skills expire?

    No. The Microsoft Project skills you gain do not expire and need no renewal. They apply directly to planning and controlling projects in your organisation from day one.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup and calendars, building the work breakdown structure, task dependencies and the critical path, creating and assigning resources, setting baselines, tracking progress, and generating built-in reports.

    What does the Advanced level add?

    Advanced covers task types and advanced scheduling, resource pools and levelling, cost management and Earned Value (SPI, CPI, EAC), custom fields, views and reports, master projects and cross-project dependencies, and what-if scenario planning.

    Are the sessions hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live instructor demonstration and hands-on Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you practise every feature as you learn it.

    Can beginners cope with the course?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is designed for people new to Microsoft Project. You start from creating a project file and progress step by step, with the trainer guiding each exercise.

    Is the course up to date with current Microsoft Project?

    Yes. The training reflects current Microsoft Project features, including the desktop editions and the cloud-based Project Online within Microsoft 365, so you learn tools you will actually use at work.
