    What Is Microsoft Project and Who Should Learn It?A Hands-On Project Scheduling Course

    Microsoft Project Training in the Netherlands is a practical, hands-on course that builds the skills to plan, schedule, resource and track projects with Microsoft Project (MS Project), the industry-standard project scheduling application from Microsoft Corporation. You learn by doing, following live exercises on realistic project scenarios rather than sitting an exam. The training runs at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days) suits planners, coordinators and team members who are new to the tool, covering project setup, the work breakdown structure, task dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines and progress reporting. Advanced (3 days) takes experienced users into resource levelling, cost and Earned Value tracking, custom views and reports, and multi-project programme management. MS Project is the scheduling tool project managers use to apply PMI PMBOK Guide, PRINCE2, Critical Path Method and Earned Value practices in the real world, and it runs on the desktop and through Microsoft Project Online in Microsoft 365. Across Dutch construction, infrastructure, engineering, IT and energy projects, confident MS Project skills help you build credible schedules and clear status reports that employers value. Start building practical project scheduling skills with Invensis Learning.

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

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on skills 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 and Advanced levels and includes no exam.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on skills 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 and Advanced levels and includes no exam.

    Who should take Microsoft Project training?

    It suits project planners, coordinators, project managers, programme managers, PMO analysts and team members who plan or track work. Fundamentals is ideal for new or occasional users, while Advanced is for experienced users who want to master scheduling, resourcing, cost and reporting features.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in the Netherlands?

    Yes. Project management is among the most in-demand roles in the Netherlands for 2026, and Dutch construction, infrastructure, IT and energy employers value people who can build credible schedules in the standard tool. The skills apply immediately at work. Talk to a learning advisor to get started.

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning after finishing the training. This is a skills course, not a certification, so there is no exam or external credential; the value is the practical Microsoft Project ability you build and can apply straight away.

    What are the two levels of the course?

    The course runs at two levels. Fundamentals (2 days) covers project setup, the work breakdown structure, dependencies, the critical path, resources, baselines and reporting. Advanced (3 days) covers resource levelling, cost and Earned Value tracking, custom reports and multi-project management.

    Do I need project management experience to start?

    No. Fundamentals has no prerequisites and is designed for people new to Microsoft Project; basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. For Advanced, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience with the tool.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in the Netherlands?

    Fees vary by level, delivery format and group size, and are available on request in euros. Both Fundamentals and Advanced can be booked individually or together. Request a quote for current pricing and upcoming dates.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware and learning resources, hands-on exercises on realistic scenarios, practice activities and a course completion record. Corporate bookings can add tailored content and dedicated coordination.

    Do I need to buy Microsoft Project software separately?

    Yes. Microsoft Project is a separate commercial product from Microsoft Corporation, and you should have a valid licence installed before the training. Check with Invensis Learning whether a trial licence is provided or whether you need to arrange your own.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with tailored schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, engineering and delivery teams. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a quote suited to your team size.

    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. Microsoft Project training is a non-certification skills course, so there is no exam at either level. Learning is reinforced through hands-on exercises in Microsoft Project using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    How is learning assessed during the course?

    Learning is assessed informally through live, hands-on exercises rather than a test. You follow the trainer in Microsoft Project, complete practical tasks on realistic scenarios, and build proficiency by doing the work during the sessions.

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

    After Fundamentals you can create a project file, configure the calendar, build a task list with summary tasks and milestones, link tasks with dependencies, identify the critical path, assign resources, set a baseline, track progress and generate built-in reports.

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

    After Advanced you can apply task types correctly, connect a shared resource pool, run resource levelling, calculate Earned Value metrics, build custom fields, views and reports, and manage master projects with cross-project dependencies for programme reporting.

    Do I receive proof of completion?

    Yes. You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning once you complete the training. It recognises the practical Microsoft Project skills you have built, which you can apply at work immediately.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals level cover?

    Fundamentals (2 days, 16 hours) covers the Microsoft Project interface, project setup and calendars, the work breakdown structure, task durations and milestones, dependencies and the critical path, work, material and cost resources, baselines, progress tracking and built-in reporting.

    What topics does the Advanced level cover?

    Advanced (3 days, 24 hours) covers advanced scheduling and task types, resource pools and levelling, cost management and Earned Value, custom fields, views, tables and reports, master projects and cross-project links, and what-if scenario planning and project closure.

    How long is each level?

    Fundamentals is delivered over 2 days (16 hours total) and Advanced over 3 days (24 hours total). Both are available as full-day sessions or extended half-day formats. You can attend either level on its own or both in sequence.

    Which frameworks does the training relate to?

    Microsoft Project is the tool used to apply methodologies such as the PMI PMBOK Guide and PRINCE2, along with Critical Path Method and Earned Value Management. The training focuses on the software skills that put these planning and control principles into practice.

    Do I need Microsoft Project installed before attending?

    Yes. You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device before attending, so you can follow the hands-on exercises. Check with Invensis Learning about software access and version before your session.

    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 receive access to schedules, courseware and learning resources. Contact a learning advisor if you need help choosing a level.

    What delivery formats are available?

    The training is available as online (live virtual) instructor-led sessions, classroom training, onsite delivery and customised corporate group training across the Netherlands, so you can pick the format that fits your schedule and team.

    Can a beginner take this course?

    Yes. The Fundamentals level is designed for beginners and occasional users, with no prerequisites and hands-on practice throughout. Basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office is helpful but not required.
