    Why Microsoft Project Skills Matter for Projects in SenegalA Practical, Hands-On Skill

    Microsoft Project Training in Senegal equips project professionals with the practical software skills to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, the world's most widely used project scheduling tool. Delivered by Invensis Learning at Fundamentals and Advanced levels, this hands-on programme turns raw task lists into controlled, dependency-linked schedules you can baseline, monitor and report on with confidence. Across Senegal, employers in oil and gas, energy, construction, telecommunications and donor-funded programmes are running larger, more complex projects, yet structured planning skills remain scarce. Learning Microsoft Project helps planners, coordinators and project managers in Dakar and beyond build schedules that hold up under scrutiny, spot over-allocated resources early, and keep delivery aligned to plan. Whether you are new to the tool or sharpening advanced skills such as resource levelling, Earned Value and multi-project management, this practical training gives you capability you can apply on the job from day one. Start building job-ready Microsoft Project skills with Invensis Learning.

    Yes. As oil, gas, energy and PPP-led infrastructure expand Senegal's project pipeline, employers value people who can build and control a real schedule. The skills apply immediately at work, from planning engineer to Chef de Projet roles.

    Do I get a certificate after the training?

    Yes. You receive a course completion certificate from Invensis Learning after finishing the programme. This is a skills course, so there is no external certification exam; the value lies in the practical Microsoft Project capability you gain.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Senegal?

    What payment options are available?

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

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

    What will I be able to do after Advanced?

    After Advanced you can apply task types correctly, run resource levelling, calculate Earned Value metrics such as SPI and CPI, build custom views and reports, and manage master projects with cross-project dependencies.
