Microsoft Project Training

This is the very best Microsoft Project training in the market place. Our workshop developed and evolved over time from training on the very first version of Microsoft Project. This workshop has been presented to thousands of participants all across North America and around the world. 

We offer one type of Microsoft Project training that is either presented onsite at your location or provided remotely by an instructor. The workshop is called iPM (Integrated Project Management workshop), the general theme is Microsoft Project integrated with the standard project management tools and techniques. 

The main thing to keep in mind is that we always customize our workshop and materials around your schedule, experience, needs and objectives. 

Our materials are very flexible and agile. They have created in such as way as to add or pull modules so that we can meet your specific training needs. Let's say you have a group of people that are not only new to Microsoft Project, but new to project management and you not only want them to learn Microsoft Project from start to finish, but also the project management tools and techniques for initiating and closing a project. Our materials are fully integrated with the tools and techniques presented in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide), so we can easily add project management topics or processes to a Microsoft Project workshop. 

All of our workshop are based on best practices and a process, in this case on the best process for planning and managing a project in Microsoft Project. We call this process Project MAP (Methods, Actions & Processes).  

Our instructors are very knowledgeable and flexible too. We can easily teach workshops that have both new and experienced participants. We have taught workshops in barns, underground, on ships, during the early morning hours, late in the evening, on alternate schedules and on weekends. 

When we present a workshop remotely, we use a presentational tool like gotomeeting, and the primary difference between that type of workshop vs. an onsite workshop is that the most we time we spend in the workshop on a given day, is four hours. An onsite workshop typically runs seven to eight hours. In addition, with an online workshop we do not conduct exercises, but rather give exercises to be completed before the next session. In general, an onsite workshop is cheaper (no travel costs for instance) and shorter (more focused on content), but there is more risk (technical failure) and quality may go down if participants are less attentive for a variety of uncontrolable reasons. 

Last, our workshops are not just the most advanced taught by the most experienced, but we provide participants with dozens of tools, files, forms, etc., to carry on after the workshop. Access to the online Microsoft Project Training Matrix is perpetual, and upgrades the the Microsoft Project App Process Bridge, are alway free.
