Intermediate Project Training Course

Our Intermediate Project training course can be carried out in all versions of Microsoft.

All of our courses are full day courses, typically running from 9:30am to 4pm with two coffee breaks and a lunch break throughout to break up the course. Timings can be slightly flexible though to fit in with your needs. We can also create a bespoke course to tailor the contents of the course to your needs. Just ask, we’d be happy to help.

FAQs

Does the training cover the latest Microsoft Office 365 updates?
Yes it does. Most of the content of our Project training courses transfers across and is compatible with any future updates of Microsoft 365. We also regularly review all of our Project 365 training courses to ensure any new features and tools are not missed out.

 

How is the Intermediate Project training course structured?
Our Intermediate course builds on and covers topics from the basic course in more detail. We do also cover some new topics too. The topics are organised to build on throughout the day. There are 2 short breaks, one mid morning and one mid afternoon, and lunch break planned in to break up the whole day course.

 

How do I know if this is the right level course for my Project training needs?
As this is the Intermediate level course, you will be a regular user of Project in your work. To know if this is the right level, have a look at the content on the basic course and if you know at least 80% of it confidently then you are ok to do this level. If you are unsure, we advise it is best to do the basic level first to make sure you are confident enough to benefit from this level. With Project we recommend attending both levels of course to ensure a good rounded understanding of the package.

 

How can Microsoft Project training benefit my business?
Project is used by businesses in all sectors and so any training will benefit your members of staff greatly. There are many benefits including increasing your team’s productivity, strengthening abilities for effective communication and improve resource management in projects, all helping your business stand out in any industry.

“We would highly recommend JPL IT Training. We have been using JPL IT Training for several years now and would not consider booking with anyone else.
John and Rachel are excellent trainers and the feedback from employees is always great. They have delivered Excel, Word and Access courses at all levels both face to face and remotely.
The sessions are always interactive and informative, and you leave them knowing much more than you did at the start. In group sessions they have the ability to adapt to each learner and ensure everyone gets the level of attention they need which is important as no one gets left behind”

Snow Business testimonial – working alongside staff in Excel

The session was very well structured with a good combination of theory and practical work. It was very useful to do individual examples of each task and the course notes are thorough without being confusing. John was a great teacher and catered for all knowledge levels. The pace of the day was great, at no point did we feel John was moving on too quickly but the sessions didn’t ‘drag’.
