Office 365

MOS: Microsoft Office Project 2019 Level 2

Turn an approved schedule into on-time, on-budget delivery in 1 instructor-led day. This course shows you how to update, track, report and coordinate multiple project plans with the desktop version of Microsoft Project – skills you’ll lean on during the execution, monitoring and controlling phases of any project.

Why choose this course?

  • Keep plans realistic – enter progress, edit tasks, update cost-rate tables and re-baseline when scope shifts.
  • Spot issues early – build custom views, fields and timeline snapshots, then generate visual and dashboard-style reports for stakeholders.
  • Reuse and scale – save time with templates, share resources across files and link multiple projects for portfolio-level insight.
  • Desktop-first with cloud context – focus on Project Professional for Windows, with an appendix that compares Project for the web and Project Online.

This course is ideal for:

  • Project managers and schedulers who already build basic plans and now must track and control live projects.
  • PMO or team leads juggling several projects that share resources or dependencies.
  • Anyone progressing from Microsoft Project – Part 1 toward advanced scheduling roles.
