Microsoft Project training provides skills needed by any project manager, and often provides an entry point to the project management profession for many.
This Microsoft Project online training can be at your fingertips within 24 hours, and it is available 24x7, and you can start taking "bite size" lessons that will rapidly bring you up to speed on MS Project.
Note: Microsoft Project software is not required to run any of these courses...but you should put into practice what you are learning as soon as possible (that will require Microsoft Project).
One final benefit: The PMI accepts Microsoft Project training - including all of our Microsoft Project online training - for PMP PDUs.
