Microsoft Project 2003 Training – Level 1

This course is designed for the new or inexperienced user who has a need to use the programme on a regular basis, but who has had no formal or structured training and is likely to be self taught.

Delegates attending the course will be able to create a project, enter tasks, durations, and relate the two together. They will be able to create relationships, identify the resources and materials required to deliver the assigned tasks and monitor the whole process. Delegates will then be able to use the various tools and shortcuts available within Project to do so in an efficient and timely manner.
