    What Is Microsoft Project Training?Your Route to Confident Project Scheduling

    Microsoft Project Training in Namibia is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, the industry-standard scheduling application from Microsoft Corporation. Delivered by Invensis Learning at two levels, Fundamentals and Advanced, it turns everyday project work into structured, dependency-linked plans you can control. Microsoft Project is used by project managers, planners and PMOs worldwide to build work breakdown structures, assign resources, set baselines and report progress across the desktop editions and Microsoft Project Online within Microsoft 365. The Fundamentals level (2 days) covers project setup, tasks, dependencies, the critical path, resources and tracking. The Advanced level (3 days) adds resource levelling, cost and earned value, custom reporting and multi-project programme management. The training suits professionals across Namibia's mining, construction, energy, finance and public-sector projects who want to move beyond spreadsheets and control schedules with confidence. You learn by doing, working through live exercises on realistic project scenarios, and leave able to apply the skills on the next working day.

    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft ProjectMaster Every Stage of the Schedule

    This Microsoft Project training builds practical, hands-on capability at two levels. Fundamentals covers scheduling, resources, baselines and tracking; Advanced adds levelling, earned value, custom reporting and multi-project management, all through live exercises.

    Build and Structure a Project Schedule

    Learn what you will do first in Microsoft Project: create a project, configure calendars, and enter a work breakdown structure of summary tasks, subtasks and milestones with realistic durations, ready to schedule.

    Link Tasks and Find the Critical Path

    Connect tasks using Finish-to-Start and other dependency types with lag and lead time, apply constraints and deadlines, and read the critical path to protect your project finish date.

    Assign and Level Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and use resource levelling to balance workload across a busy project or programme.

    Track Progress and Analyse Variance

    Set baselines, record actual progress with percent complete, and use the Tracking Gantt and variance tables to see which tasks have slipped and by how much.

    Manage Cost and Earned Value

    Plan budgets, track actual cost, and calculate earned value metrics such as SPI and CPI in Microsoft Project to report true schedule and budget performance to sponsors.

    Report and Manage Multiple Projects

    Build custom views, tables and visual reports, and use master projects and cross-project links to consolidate and report on several projects as one programme.

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

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, Microsoft's industry-standard scheduling software. It is offered at Fundamentals and Advanced levels for new and experienced users across Namibia.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, Microsoft's industry-standard scheduling software. It is offered at Fundamentals and Advanced levels for new and experienced users across Namibia.

    Who should take Microsoft Project training in Namibia?

    It suits project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO analysts, engineers and team leads who plan or track projects. In Namibia it is especially valuable for mining, construction, energy, finance and public-sector professionals moving from spreadsheets to structured schedules.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is the most widely used dedicated scheduling tool, and confident users are in demand as Namibia's oil, hydrogen, mining and infrastructure pipeline grows. The skills apply immediately at work and help you take on larger, more complex projects.

    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 build schedules and want resource levelling, earned value, custom reports and multi-project management. You can take either level alone or both in sequence.

    Do I need prior experience to start?

    No. The Fundamentals level assumes no prior Microsoft Project experience; basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps but is not required. The Advanced level assumes you have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Namibia?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and whether you train individually or as a group. Fundamentals is a 2-day programme and Advanced is 3 days. For current pricing in your preferred format, request a quote from a learning advisor.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training, structured courseware, hands-on exercises, downloadable practice materials, learner support and a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning. Confirm exact inclusions when you enrol.

    Do I need a Microsoft Project licence as well?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation, so you should have it installed and accessible on your device for the hands-on exercises. Check whether a trial licence is provided when you book.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for teams, PMOs and departments across Namibia. Contact us for a group quote for your organisation.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Assessment

    How will my learning be assessed?

    Learning is assessed through hands-on practice rather than a written test. Throughout both levels you complete live Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios, so you build and demonstrate real scheduling skills as you go.

    What will I receive after completing the training?

    You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning that recognises the Microsoft Project skills you have built. It confirms you completed the Fundamentals or Advanced programme.

    Will I be able to use Microsoft Project confidently at work?

    Yes. The training is designed for immediate application. After Fundamentals you can build, resource and track a full schedule; after Advanced you can level resources, manage cost and earned value, and report across multiple projects.

    Is this training suitable for beginners?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is built for people who are new to Microsoft Project. You start from creating a project and progress step by step, with the trainer demonstrating each feature before you practise it yourself.

    Can I progress from Fundamentals to Advanced?

    Yes. Many learners take Fundamentals first to build a solid base, then move to Advanced to master levelling, earned value, custom reporting and multi-project management. You can take the levels back to back or space them out.

    Course Content

    What topics does Microsoft Project training cover?

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

    What will I learn at the Fundamentals level?

    You will learn to create a project, build a task schedule with summary tasks, subtasks and milestones, link tasks with dependencies, assign work, material and cost resources, set baselines, track actual progress and produce built-in status reports.

    What does the Advanced level add?

    Advanced covers task types and advanced scheduling, resource pools and levelling, budget and earned value tracking, custom fields, tables, views and visual reports, and managing master projects with cross-project links for programme-level control.

    Is the training hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered as live instructor-led sessions with continuous hands-on exercises in Microsoft Project. You follow each feature in the software using realistic project scenarios, so you practise as you learn.

    Which version of Microsoft Project is used?

    The training covers core Microsoft Project scheduling skills that apply across current desktop editions and Microsoft Project Online within Microsoft 365. Confirm the specific version used before your session so you can match your own setup.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training in Namibia?

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

    What delivery formats are available?

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

    How soon can I start?

    New batches run regularly across both levels. Live virtual sessions usually have the nearest available dates, while onsite corporate sessions are scheduled around your team. See upcoming schedules or ask an advisor for the next start date.

    Can you deliver training for my team onsite?

    Yes. We deliver onsite and live virtual corporate training for teams across Namibia, tailored to your own project data and industry. Request a group quote and we will build a schedule around your team's availability.

    Can I reschedule my enrolment?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or move to another batch on selected plans. Contact our support team and we will help you arrange a suitable date.
