Testimonials

The course was well thought out and executed. The level of detail was great, particularly going back to basics to setup the program right from the beginning. Explaining why things are done was also very helpful.
My goal was to improve my overall understanding and ability to use Microsoft Project. I now understand the through process behind programming, how to setup a program in a way that allows the software to work for me + assist in my role. I will also now use the cashflow and resourcing function. Also setting up filters, templates etc for future use is helpful
Really practical and useful training workshop and covers a lot of grounds. The inclusion of good scheduling practice, ‘right’ way and ‘wrong’ way of using the software, people’s bad habits and tips to set up to save time in the long term, were really useful too. Brett is a really engaging instructor and very succinctly demonstrated all the powerful potential and functions of this useful software
I am fully convinced that the more detail / more accurate planning and update that one ‘invest’ in using MS projects, the more powerful and useful it can be for one’s projects.
