This course has been designed for delegates who are new to Microsoft Project 2003. Existing users of Microsoft Project would benefit from this course if they consider that they need to increase their existing knowledge. No previous experience of either project management or the software is assumed. You do not have to be a Windows expert but you must feel comfortable working in the Windows environment. Delegates who do not have hands on experience of the Windows environment will have great difficulty due to the interactive nature of the course. Training style Informal and participative using a combination of trainer input, discussion and practical exercises. This approach ensures the training meets the needs of both the group and individual participants.
