    Skills You Will Build in Microsoft ProjectFrom First Schedule to Programme Reporting

    This hands-on Microsoft Project course builds practical, job-ready scheduling skills. By the end, you can plan a project from scratch, resource and cost it, track delivery, and report progress to stakeholders with confidence.

    Set up Projects and Calendars

    Create project files, configure calendars and working time, and choose automatic or manual scheduling so your plans reflect real working conditions from the start.

    Build Work Breakdown Structures

    Enter tasks, summary tasks and milestones, and structure a clear WBS with realistic durations, so a complex project becomes an organised, scannable schedule.

    Link Tasks and Find the Critical Path

    Apply Finish-to-Start and other dependencies with lag and lead time, then read the critical path and float to see what really drives your project end date.

    Assign and Balance Resources

    Create work, material and cost resources, assign them to tasks, spot over-allocation, and level resources so your plan is achievable, not just optimistic.

    Baseline and Track Progress

    Set baselines, record actual progress, and use the Tracking Gantt and variance tables to see slippage early and keep projects on course.

    Control Cost and Earned Value

    Track budget and actual cost, and calculate Earned Value measures such as SPI and CPI to report performance and flag overruns before they escalate.

    Report to Stakeholders

    Produce built-in and custom reports, views and dashboards that communicate status clearly to managers, funders and executives without sharing raw project files.

    Manage Multiple Projects

    Use master projects, subprojects and resource pools to consolidate several projects, resolve cross-project resource conflicts and report at programme level.

    General

    What is Microsoft Project training?

    Microsoft Project training is a hands-on skills course that teaches you to plan, schedule, resource and track projects using Microsoft Project, the leading project scheduling software from Microsoft Corporation. It runs at Fundamentals (2 days) and Advanced (3 days) levels for anyone who plans or supports projects.

    Is Microsoft Project training worth it in Zimbabwe?

    Yes. Employers across Zimbabwe's mining, construction, ICT and financial sectors increasingly want professionals who can build structured schedules rather than spreadsheets. The skills apply immediately at work and help you qualify for planner, scheduler and PMO roles.

    Who should attend this course?

    The course suits project managers, coordinators, planners, PMO analysts and team members who plan or track projects. Fundamentals fits new or occasional users, while Advanced suits experienced users who want resource levelling, cost management and multi-project skills.

    Do I receive proof of completion after the training?

    Yes. On completing the training you receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning. This is a practical, hands-on skills course with no formal examination, so learning is reinforced through live exercises throughout.

    Which version of Microsoft Project does the course cover?

    The training covers the desktop editions, Project Standard and Project Professional, and introduces Project Online, the cloud version within Microsoft 365. You should have the software installed and accessible on your device before the session.

    What is the difference between Fundamentals and Advanced?

    Fundamentals (2 days, 16 hours) covers project setup, tasks, dependencies, resources, baselines and tracking for new users. Advanced (3 days, 24 hours) covers resource levelling, cost and Earned Value, custom reports and master projects for experienced users.

    Pricing

    How much does Microsoft Project training cost in Zimbabwe?

    Pricing depends on the level, the delivery format and group size, and is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a current quote tailored to individual or corporate training.

    What is included in the course fee?

    The fee typically includes instructor-led sessions, structured courseware and learning resources, hands-on exercises, and post-training support, ending with a course completion record from Invensis Learning. Confirm exact inclusions when you enquire.

    Do you offer corporate or group pricing?

    Yes. We offer group and corporate rates for teams, PMOs and departments, with volume-based pricing and tailored delivery. Ask about corporate or group pricing for a quote built around your team size and schedule.

    Do I need to buy Microsoft Project separately?

    Microsoft Project is a separate product from Microsoft Corporation, so you need a valid licence to use the software during and after training. Check whether a trial licence is available when you enrol, or arrange your own before the session.

    What payment options are available?

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

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for this course?

    No. This is a practical, non-certification course with no examination at either level. Your learning is reinforced through live, hands-on exercises using realistic project scenarios throughout the programme.

    How is my learning assessed?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you practise each feature in the software as the trainer demonstrates it, building proficiency through realistic exercises. You apply the skills directly, which is the best test of capability.

    Will I be job-ready after the course?

    Yes. The course is built around doing, not just watching, so you leave able to plan, resource, baseline and report on projects in Microsoft Project. Many learners apply the skills on live projects the same week.

    Do I need prior experience to attend?

    For Fundamentals, none is needed, though basic familiarity with Windows and Microsoft Office helps. For Advanced, you should have completed Fundamentals or have equivalent hands-on experience using the software.

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

    You will be able to apply task types correctly, level resources, calculate Earned Value, build custom reports and views, and manage master projects with cross-project dependencies and resource pools.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Fundamentals course cover?

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

    What does the Advanced course cover?

    Advanced covers advanced scheduling and task types, resource levelling and pools, cost management and Earned Value, custom fields, views and reports, master projects and programme management, and what-if scenario planning.

    Is the training hands-on?

    Yes. Both levels are delivered with live Microsoft Project exercises throughout. You follow along in the software as the trainer demonstrates each feature, using realistic project scenarios to build practical proficiency.

    What materials are provided?

    You receive structured courseware, exercise files and reference materials that support step-by-step learning, plus post-training resources so you can revisit key features after the session.

    Can I use my own project data in the training?

    In corporate and onsite delivery, yes. Teams can work on their own organisation's real project scenarios during exercises, which makes the training more relevant and immediately applicable.

    Enrollment

    How do I enrol in Microsoft Project training?

    You can enrol through the Invensis Learning website or by contacting a learning advisor. Choose Fundamentals, Advanced or both, pick your format and dates, and you will receive access to schedules and course materials. See upcoming batches to get started.

    What delivery formats are available?

    You can take the Microsoft Project course online as live virtual instructor-led training, or choose classroom and corporate onsite delivery. You can pick the format that best fits your schedule and learning preference.

    Should I take Fundamentals or Advanced first?

    Take Fundamentals if you are new to or occasional with the software. Take Advanced if you already use it regularly and want to master resource levelling, cost management, custom reporting and multi-project delivery. Both can be taken in sequence.

    How long is each level?

    Fundamentals runs over 2 days (16 hours) and Advanced over 3 days (24 hours). Both are available as full-day or extended half-day formats. Confirm current scheduling options when you enquire.

    Can I reschedule my booking?

    Yes. Flexible options let you reschedule or move to another batch on selected plans. Contact our support team to arrange a change that works for you.
