Microsoft Project Professional: The Basics Online Course

April 29, 2025 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM (HST)

Description

Microsoft Project Professional is the industry-leading Project Management tool, and understanding how to use it is vital to every professional. This course covers all the tools a Project beginner needs, from developing project schedules, assigning resources, and editing timelines, all the way through sharing and outputting the Project for real-world use/update. The course addresses concepts of Critical Patch Methodology, setting Milestones, and updating timetables and workloads throughout the Project lifecycle.

The recording will be available to participants for a limited time following each session, and a certificate of completion will be issued upon successful completion of the training.  

ZenTek Consultants will show you the most effective means of using the software you already own, so you can get the ROI you were hoping for. Unless noted, the courses listed are eight (8) hour courses delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses.


NOTE: Courses are taught using the latest Microsoft software.

Multi-day:  April 29, May 6, 13 & 20, 2025 | 1:00 – 3:00PM ET | 7:00AM – 9:00AM HST
