    Build Real Scheduling Skills with Microsoft ProjectA Hands-On Course for Portugal's Project Teams

    Microsoft Project Training in Portugal is a practical, hands-on course that builds the software skills to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project (MS Project), the industry-leading scheduling application developed by Microsoft Corporation. It is offered at two levels: Fundamentals, a 2-day programme for new or occasional users, and Advanced, a 3-day programme for experienced planners who want to master resource levelling, cost management, custom reporting and multi-project control. You learn on the live tool throughout, working through realistic project scenarios in Microsoft Project Standard, Professional or the cloud-based Project Online in Microsoft 365. You come away able to create dependency-linked schedules, read the critical path, assign and balance resources, set baselines, and report progress that teams and stakeholders can trust. The skills map directly to how project work is run in Portugal's IT, construction, engineering and consulting sectors, and complement recognised project management approaches such as the PMI PMBOK Guide, PRINCE2, Critical Path Method and Earned Value Management. Whether you are moving off spreadsheets or sharpening advanced practice, this is a clear, supported route to confident, tool-fluent project delivery.

    The Skills You Will BuildFrom Scheduling to Confident Project Control

    This is what you will be able to do in Microsoft Project after the course: plan and schedule work, control resources and costs, track progress against a baseline, and report status clearly. The skills span the Fundamentals and Advanced levels and apply to any sector that runs schedule-driven projects.

    Build Schedules and Work Breakdowns

    Create project files, configure calendars and working time, and structure the work using summary tasks, subtasks, durations, milestones and recurring tasks so your plan mirrors how the project will actually run.

    Link Tasks and Master the Critical Path

    Apply Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish and Start-to-Finish dependencies with lag and lead time, use constraints and deadlines sensibly, and read the critical path to target schedule risk.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Set up work, material and cost resources, assign them with the right units and effort-driven settings, spot over-allocation, and use resource levelling to smooth demand within real availability.

    Set Baselines and Track Progress

    Save the project baseline, record actual progress with percent complete and actual values, use the Tracking Gantt, and analyse start and finish variance so slippage is visible early, not late.

    Manage Costs and Earned Value

    Plan and track project costs, work with budget and cost resources, and interpret Earned Value metrics such as BCWS, BCWP, ACWP, SPI and CPI to report project health with credibility.

    Report with Custom Views and Master Projects

    Build custom fields, tables, filters and visual reports with RAG indicators, consolidate subprojects into master projects with cross-project links, and export to Excel and Microsoft 365 for stakeholders.

    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. It suits project managers, coordinators, planners and PMO team members, and is offered at Fundamentals level for new users and Advanced level for experienced practitioners.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training and who is it for?

    Microsoft Project training is a practical, hands-on course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project. It suits project managers, coordinators, planners and PMO team members, and is offered at Fundamentals level for new users and Advanced level for experienced practitioners.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Portugal?

    Yes. Portugal's IT, construction, consulting and public-sector employers run schedule-driven projects and value planners who are fluent in the standard scheduling tool. With tech growth and infrastructure investment rising, tool-fluent professionals are shortlisted more often and can command stronger pay.

    What is Microsoft Project?

    Microsoft Project is the industry-leading project scheduling application developed by Microsoft Corporation. It is available as Microsoft Project Standard and Professional on the desktop, and as the cloud-based Project Online in Microsoft 365, and is used to build Gantt charts, manage resources, track baselines and report progress.

    Should I take the Fundamentals or Advanced level?

    Take Fundamentals (2 days) if you are new to Microsoft Project or use it occasionally and want a solid grounding in scheduling and resource management. Take Advanced (3 days) if you already use the tool and want resource levelling, Earned Value, custom reports and multi-project control. Both can be taken independently or in sequence.

    Do I need prior project management experience?

    No. The Fundamentals level has no formal prerequisites, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. For the Advanced level, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience using Microsoft Project.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Portugal?

    Fees vary by delivery mode (live online, classroom or corporate), level and group size. Pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for current schedules and a quote tailored to your needs.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led training, structured courseware, hands-on exercises on realistic project scenarios, practice materials and templates, learner support, and a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Ask us for the exact inclusions for your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for PMOs, delivery teams and business units. Request a group quote and we will tailor the programme to your team.

    Do I need a Microsoft Project licence, and is it included?

    You should have Microsoft Project installed and accessible on your device for the hands-on exercises. Microsoft Project is a separate commercial product from Microsoft Corporation. Ask us whether a trial licence is provided for your session or whether you should arrange your own.

    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 and to see upcoming batches.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam at the end of the course?

    No. This is a practical, non-examination skills course. Learning is reinforced through live, hands-on exercises in Microsoft Project throughout the programme, so you build real proficiency rather than sit a test.

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

    You will be able to create a project file and calendar, build task lists with summary tasks, subtasks and milestones, link tasks with dependencies and lag or lead time, identify the critical path, assign work, material and cost resources, set a baseline, track progress, and generate built-in status reports.

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

    You will be able to apply Fixed Units, Fixed Duration and Fixed Work task types, connect a shared resource pool, run resource levelling, calculate and report Earned Value metrics, build custom fields, views and reports, consolidate subprojects into master projects, and plan what-if schedule scenarios.

    Do I receive anything on completion?

    Yes. On completing the programme you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning, along with the practical Microsoft Project skills that are immediately applicable to project planning, scheduling and tracking at work.

    How is the training reinforced without an exam?

    Every module is delivered with live Microsoft Project exercises using realistic project scenarios. You follow along in the tool as the trainer demonstrates each feature, so you practise and consolidate the skills as you learn them.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Microsoft Project course cover?

    Fundamentals covers project setup, work breakdown structures, task dependencies and the critical path, resources, baselines and progress tracking. Advanced adds advanced scheduling, resource levelling, cost management and Earned Value, custom views and reports, and master projects for multi-project control.

    How long is each level and how is it delivered?

    Fundamentals runs for 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced for 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day or extended half-day formats, delivered live online, in the classroom or as corporate onsite training. Contact us for current schedules.

    Is the training hands-on?

    Yes. The course is built around live, hands-on exercises in Microsoft Project. You work through realistic project scenarios in the application throughout, building proficiency through practice rather than theory alone.

    Which version of Microsoft Project is used?

    The course teaches Microsoft Project as used in the workplace, covering the desktop application (Standard and Professional) and, at Advanced level, the cloud-based Project Online in Microsoft 365. Confirm the specific version for your session when you enrol.

    Does the course align with recognised project management approaches?

    Yes. The scheduling, resourcing, cost and Earned Value techniques complement recognised approaches such as the PMI PMBOK Guide, PRINCE2, Critical Path Method and Earned Value Management, so Microsoft Project skills help you apply project management methodology in practice.

    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 learning resources. Talk to a learning advisor if you need help choosing.
