Microsoft Project is a 3-week course for project coordinators, engineers, and site staff who need to build and maintain a working project schedule without a full planning department behind them. The course opens with project setup and task planning, covering how to create a new project file, define the calendar, and break the work down into a realistic task list. It then covers task dependencies and durations, showing how to link tasks correctly and estimate durations so the schedule reflects real site sequencing rather than guesswork. Resource assignment is covered next, teaching you how to assign people, equipment, and costs to tasks and spot over-allocation before it becomes a site problem. The course then moves into tracking progress and updates, where you will learn to record actual progress against the plan and see how delays ripple through the rest of the schedule. It finishes with reporting and Gantt chart presentation, covering how to format and present a Gantt chart and status report that a client or site manager can actually read at a glance. This is a practical, tool-focused course aimed at getting you comfortable running a real schedule in Microsoft Project within three weeks.
