On-site Intermediate MS Project Courses in the United Kingdom

Our closed courses for Microsoft Project are available for small-group training at your premises. These in-person courses offer more flexibility than off-the-shelf courses and topics can often be tailored to meet your particular learning needs.

Whether you're involved in project administration, are a project manager or responsible for managing a programme, Microsoft Project is a highly effective administrative tool for tracking, managing and analysing your budget, tasks and resources, and for sharing project information and collaborating with other team members.

Our trainers are inspirational subject experts and software champions who promote enthusiastic adoption of Project amongst their trainees. Before the start date they'll discuss your team's training goals with you, whether they're setting off as novice, intermediate or advanced users.

Live Virtual Classroom Intermediate MS Project Courses, UK and Beyond

If you'd rather that your team learns remotely, these small-group MS Project courses are also available as live virtual, interactive sessions from the comfort of your own office or workplace. These instructor-led courses are taught via MS Teams video conferencing.

Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that virtual classroom delivery has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

Our virtual learning Microsoft Project courses cater for classes of up to 10 and your learners benefit from full and immersive interaction with the trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via advanced live video conferencing that is enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

Our virtual classroom MS Project desktop courses cost £450.00 per day for up to 3 people. More learners can be added for £50.00 plus VAT per person p/day up to a limit of 10. Courseware will be provided electronically.

If you have a group, or groups, of staff that need Microsoft Project training, then running courses at your workplace (either face-to-face or virtual classroom) is a cost-effective option. Tell us about your learning needs and email us for a quote.
