This course can be applied toward a program:
- MS Project (required)
- Office Skills (elective)
Online: Self-Paced
This intermediate-level course gets into some of MS Project's advanced features. You'll learn how to create baselines, apply fixed and overtime costs, perform resource leveling and more. The course is open to everyone, but is ideal for aspiring project managers who have grown weary of basic MS Project and crave even more knowledge. We're not saying it's for power-mad super villains*, mind you. It's for anyone who wants to track projects as effectively as possible.
*Supervillains, however, are welcome to sign up for the course.
NOTE: This course will focus on the Microsoft Office 2019 version of MS Project. However, you may take this course using MS Project 2010+, recognizing that some of the screenshots and functions may be different due to different versions of the software.
Average weekly commitment: 3+ hours. Total course commitment: 12+ hours.
